Video Supporting Joe Biden Sexual Assault Allegations Surfaces

Summary from the AllSides News Team

A video surfaced this week that appears to show the mother of Tara Reade, the former staffer who has accused former Vice President and current presidential candidate Joe Biden of sexual assault, calling in to an episode of Larry King Live in 1993 to ask for advice about her daughter's situation. The clip, which aired on CNN around the time of the allegations, features Reade's mother asking what "a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington" while alluding to "problems" her daughter had with a prominent senator. Outlets on both the left and right have covered the video -- first reported by The Intercept and later by CNN -- and the ensuing reactions. Many framed it as the latest piece of evidence in Reade's allegations against Biden, which have dogged the presumptive Democratic nominee since becoming public last month.
