has been accused of sexual assaulting a former staffer in 1993 in his Senate office.
Tara Reade, who worked in Biden’s office in 1993, accused Biden of touching her, kissing her and penetrating her with his fingers without consent.
Reade made her claims in an interview with Katie Halper, a writer and podcast host, released Wednesday.
"We were alone, and it was the strangest thing. There was no, like, exchange really, he just had me up against the wall," Reade said.
"His hands were on me and underneath my clothes. And then, he went, he went down my skirt and then up inside it, and he penetrated me with his fingers...and um...He was kissing me at the same time and he was saying something to me," she also told Halper.
"He got finished doing what he was doing and I, how I was pulled back and he said, ’Come on man, I heard you liked me.’ And that phrase stayed with me because I kept thinking what I might have said. And I can’t remember exactly if he said ’I thought’ or if ’I heard.’ It’s like he implied that I had done this."
Reade said that she told her mother and brother about the assault. She also told a friend, who she says advised her not to come forward and face a public firestorm. Her mother, who has since passed, told her to report the incident, but her brother also discouraged her from doing so.
The Daily Caller reached out to Biden’s campaign about the allegation Wednesday and has received no response.
The reaction to this allegation has largely been muted in major media outlets. As of Friday afternoon, searches of the New York Times
