Former Vice President Joe Biden has been accused of sexual assault by a former staffer who recently recounted the disturbing events.

According to The Daily Wire:

On Wednesday morning, journalist and podcaster Katie Harper released an audio clip of an interview with Tara Reade, a former staff assistant to Joe Biden, in which Reade claims that Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993.

The story begins with Reade being instructed to rush a gym bag to Biden. Upon reaching then-Senator Biden with the bag, Reade claims that he greeted her by name, and proceeded to sexually assault her in a “side area.”

“We were alone, and it was the strangest thing. There was no, like, exchange really, he just had me up against the wall,” Reade claims.

“His hands were on me, and underneath my clothes,” Reade later says. “He went down my skirt, but then up inside. He penetrated me with his fingers.”

Reade  also stated that the phrase Biden spoke that still haunts her is “You’re nothing to me!” After she broke down from Biden saying this he apparently tried to console her.

It remains unclear if these accusations can be corroborated but they are damning.
