Biden assault allegation now has more evidence than Blasey Ford's claim Washington Examiner, Apr 24, 2020
Tara Reade's allegation that Joe Biden acted inappropriately toward her has been made more credible by a revelation that strongly suggests she complained to her mother about "problems" related to working in Biden's office around the time she left the job.
To be sure, the news doesn't prove Reade's underlying claim that Biden pushed her against a wall and penetrated her with his fingers while a staffer in his office, but there is now solid evidence that she complained about Biden's behavior at the time. That alone is something that could never be said for Christine Blasey Ford's accusation against Brett Kavanaugh.
The latest development comes as the Intercept has found a piece of hard evidence that proves she complained to at least one person, her late mother, shortly after leaving her job. A listener of the left-wing outlet found a call to Larry King Live in 1993, which Reade had claimed was her mother. The date and location from the call transcript does not conclusively show that the woman calling in was indeed Reade's mother. But the timing and context are consistent with Reade's account.
"I’m wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington?" Reade's mother says, according to the transcript. "My daughter has just left there, after working for a prominent senator, and could not get through with her problems at all, and the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him."
The call was from August 1993, the last month records indicate that Reade worked for Biden and around the summer time frame she made in her initial claim of assault.
