Tara Reade pushes back on AP report, calls to 'retract' headline about Biden complaint
By Joseph A. Wulfsohn | Fox News
EXCLUSIVE: Tara Reade slammed The Associated Press on Saturday for its framing of a story regarding her Senate personnel complaint she filed against her former boss Joe Biden, calling for the news outlet to "retract" its headline.
The AP ran an exclusive on Saturday with the initial headline, "Harassment, assault absent in Biden complaint." The report details how she recalled using language like "uncomfortable" and "retaliation" instead of the term "sexual harassment."
"This is false," Reade had tweeted in response to a tweet from AP Politics, which read: "Tara Reade says a Senate report she filed against Joe Biden didn’t refer to sexual harassment or assault."
Reade later told Fox News that the "story itself is correct" but that the headline is "wrong."
An Associated Press spokesperson told Fox News that it "stands by its story."
"I do not know what is on the form until we see it. I filed a sexual harassment complaint and included retaliation," Reade said.
Reade said she told The AP that she had filed an "intake form" regarding sexual harassment but did not disclose the alleged sexual assault in the complaint.
"I asked AP to retract [the] headline," Reade told Fox News.
