Associated Press sat on 2019 interview with Biden accuser, citing lack of corroborating evidence

The Associated Press interviewed the woman who has accused Joe Biden of sexually harassing and sexually assaulting her last year, but didn’t run with it because the news outlet couldn’t corroborate her story.

Biden, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, was accused of sexually harassing and sexually assaulting Tara Reade, a woman who worked in his Senate office in the early 1990s. Reade, 52, accused the former vice president of inappropriately touching her and penetrating her with his fingers while forcibly kissing her without her consent, which he has denied.
