Biden’s Lawyer Responds To Secretary Of Senate Who Said She Can’t Comply With Biden’s Request To Release Records

2020 presidential candidate Joe Biden’s lawyer responded Monday to the secretary of the Senate who said that her office cannot comply with Biden’s request to order a search for a complaint allegedly made by his accuser Tara Reade when she was a staffer for him in the Senate.

“Based on the law’s strict confidentiality requirements (Section 313) and the Senate’s own direction that disclosure of Senate Records is not authorized if prohibited by law (Senate Resolution 474, 96th Congress, Section 3(a)), Senate Legal Counsel advises that the Secretary has no discretion to disclose any such information as requested in Vice President Biden’s letter of May 1,” the secretary of the Senate Julie Adams said in a statement.
