Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on May 1 repeatedly refused the idea of searching his voluminous Senate records at the University of Delaware for the name of his sexual assault accuser, Tara Reade.
In an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Biden was asked several times why the records at the university should not be searched. The former vice president argued that Reade’s name cannot be in the documents at the university because her complaint, if one was filed, would be stored at the National Archives. Reade, who accuses Biden of sexually assaulting her 27 years ago when she worked as an aide in his office, has said that records of her complaint may be among the hundreds of boxes of Biden’s documents at the University.
