This is now confirmed to be authentic by Tara Reade& #39;s new lawyer Douglas Wigdor. Tara Reade was charged in San Luis Obispo under a statute that requires "willful intent to defraud" four days before she was officially terminated from Biden& #39;s office in August 1993

It’s bizarre that people are so offended by my reporting this. They’d prefer that pertinent information remain concealed, I guess. “PLEASE DON’T GIVE ME FACTS!” That’s what happens when you use “belief” as your evaluative standard, like we’re dealing with a religious dogma

There& #39;s plenty of additional information concerning Tara Reade& #39;s personal background that I have NOT tweeted, because it& #39;s not strictly relevant. But this charge is clearly relevant, by dint of its chronological timing: just a matter of days before she is officially terminated

I& #39;m also tired of people constantly bringing up Christine Blasey Ford. I& #39;m evaluating this situation on its own merits. I did the same with Ford a year and a half ago (and my view then was not "BELIEVE WOMEN"). It& #39;s not necessary to keep invoking the comparison nonstop. We get it
