A friend said Tara Reade told her the details of the allegation at the time, and another friend and a brother of Reade’s said she told them over the years about a traumatic sexual incident involving Biden.

No other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of our reporting, nor did any former Biden staff corroborate Reade’s allegation. We found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Biden, beyond hugs, kisses and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable

On Thursday, Tara Reade filed a report with the Washington, DC police, saying she was the victim of sexual assault in 1993; the public incident report does not mention Biden by name, but she said the complaint was about him. https://nyti.ms/3b2u3R9 ">https://nyti.ms/3b2u3R9&q...
