NEWS: According to California court records, Tara Reade was charged with misdemeanor check fraud four days before she left the then-Senator Biden's office in the summer of 1993. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2020/05/09/court-records-biden-accuser-tara-reade-was-charged-with-check-fraud-days-before-leaving-his-senate-office-n2568514

Because I cited Julie Swetnick's legal record in assessing her credibility when she made her wild and false 'gang rape' allegations against Brett Kavanaugh, fairness requires me to consider Reade's legal history, as well, especially given the timing. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2020/05/09/court-records-biden-accuser-tara-reade-was-charged-with-check-fraud-days-before-leaving-his-senate-office-n2568514

The fraud charge does not vindicate Biden, nor does it prove Reade is being untruthful about what she says happened to her. But it's a piece of information that some may find relevant in examining her story. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2020/05/09/court-records-biden-accuser-tara-reade-was-charged-with-check-fraud-days-before-leaving-his-senate-office-n2568514

According to a left-wing media figure, Reade's attorney has confirmed the existence of the charge, stating that after Reade paid off what she owed at the time, the matter was dropped by authorities. https://twitter.com/ryangrim/status/1259181237245292544

UPDATE: Reade's lawyer tells me her departure from Biden's office "had nothing to do with her termination because she had already left the office, in July [1993]. She was paid through [August 6th]." She has speculated her termination was retaliatory. https://townhall.com/tipsheet/guybenson/2020/05/09/court-records-biden-accuser-tara-reade-was-charged-with-check-fraud-days-before-leaving-his-senate-office-n2568514
