Reade after Biden
Tara Reade briefly worked as a senate aide to Joe Biden in 1993, that’s where the sexual misconduct allegations later came from. Reade claimed that Biden pinned her against a wall and “penetrated her with his fingers” when she came to deliver his gym bag.
Her story has been corroborated by her brother, but others who worked in Biden’s office at the time the assault took place have refuted her claims, noting that to their knowledge, Reade would not have been asked to deliver personal items to the senator nor would she have much personal interaction with the senator at all. Biden himself also released a statement fully refuting Reade’s allegations, maintaining that “this never happened”.
According to CNN, later, Tara Reade changed her name to Alexandra McCabe, claiming it was for her personal protection, and attended Antioch University in Seattle in pursuit of a bachelor’s degree. She claims to have returned to teach as a visiting professor “on and off for five years”. However, there’s no evidence that anyone named Alexandra McCabe ever graduated from Antioch University or taught there, indicating that her story may be fabricated.
In 2004 Reade graduated from Seattle University’s School of Law in 2004. In recent years, Reade has become a columnist for Russia Today, a state-controlled media outlet of the Russian Federation geared towards foreign audiences.
