Tara Reade, a former staffer in Joe Biden’s U.S. Senate office, alleges that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993 in a Capitol Hill office building when she was a staff assistant.
“He sexually assaulted me in 1993 when I worked as his staffer. @MiaFarrow then when I came forward publicly, he used his power and resources to destroy me. Stop. It is more than a little painful to read about his ‘moral center’ that is a PR image not reality,” Reade tweeted last year.

Reade tweeted earlier this month that if something happened to her, all roads led to Joe Biden.
“I want to make something clear. If something happens to me, all roads lead to Joe Biden,” Reade wrote.
“Joe Biden and DNC political machine threats, bullying and intimidation over the last three years will not work. I am not suicidal. I should not be under investigation nor am I a foreign agent,” she added.
“I am a private citizen. I was a former staffer of Joe Biden’s that has chosen to step forward to tell the truth. The tactics using intimidation and bullying to silence me and suppress me using DOJ and FBI and social media will not work. Leave me alone,” Reade continued.
“I will testify under oath in Congress if asked to do so and tell what happened and what I know. The Biden corruption must end. Period Thank you @RepMTG and @mattgaetz for inviting me to testify and caring about the truth!” Reade concluded her message.

WATCH:
The Guardian reported:
At her press appearance in Russia, Reade was described as a “writer and publicist and former aide to Joe Biden”.
Sitting next to Butina, Reade said: “I just really so appreciate Maria and everyone who’s been giving me [protection] at a time when it’s been very difficult to know if I’m safe or not.
“I just didn’t want to walk home and walk into a cage or be killed, which is basically my two choices.”
Reade recently flirted with testifying before US House Republicans seeking to use committees to attack Biden and his family.
The decision to defect to Russia, she told Sputnik, “was very difficult. I’m not an impulsive person. I really take my time and sort of analyse data points.
“And from what I could see based on the cases and based on what was happening and sort of the push for them to not want me to testify, I felt that while [the 2024] election is gearing up and there’s so much at stake, I’m almost better off here and just being safe. My dream is to live in both places, but it may be that I only live in this place and that’s OK.”
Biden is running for re-election. As president, he has helped maintain international support for Ukraine as it fights invading Russian forces.
Reade said: “To my Russian brothers and sisters, I’m sorry right now that American elites are choosing to have such an aggressive stance. Just know that most American citizens do want to be friends and hope that we can have unity again.
Daily Mail added:
She described her visit to Moscow as breaking impressions. ‘The food tastes so good – there’s no chemicals, there’s no GMOs,’ she said. ‘I’m not just giving you a smoke screen.’
She said she wasn’t sure she would go back to the U.S. even if Biden is replaced, although she expressed doubts he ‘makes it to run again.’
‘I’m not sure if the new president will change anything for me. I have lawyers working right now to figure out because some of the cases are sealed that are against me, so I don’t know what they have in mind. But I do know this that unfortunately, the Democratic National Committee is quite corrupt. Unless that’s dismantled and taken down. I’m not sure things will get better,’ she said.
‘I just didn’t want to walk home and walk into a cage or be killed, which is basically my two choices,’ she told Sputnik.
