In April 2019, Tara Reade said that Joe Biden touched her in a way that made her “feel uncomfortable” during his time as a Senator for Delaware. There were seven other women who said the same thing at the time. In March 2020, she said that Biden sexually assaulted her instead. Reade said that at the time of the assault, she told her mother, her brother, and a friend who worked in Senator Ted Kennedy’s office about what happened, but currently the fan website TaraReadeTruth.com says that there are as many as eight people that she told.
