Tara Reade, who claims she was sexually assaulted by President Joe Biden and has lived in Russia for nearly a year, continues to seek aid from House Republicans who can provide her an outlet to publicly testify her complaints under oath. Reade, who served as a Biden aide when he represented Delaware as a U.S. senator, made headlines during his 2020 presidential campaign when she filed a criminal complaint with the Washington Metropolitan Police Department alleging that he pushed her against the wall in a Senate corridor in 1993 and penetrated her with his fingers. The president strongly denied the accusations and continues to do so.
The reaction to her complaint ultimately led her to seek refuge in Moscow in May 2023. As of December, she was granted asylum in an expedited process, but remains intent on wanting to share the totality of her story and allegations with Republicansthough interest in making the testimony a public spectacle has seemingly waned. "I'm angry that nobody is helping me," Reade, who describes herself as a political independent, told Newsweek via phone last week from her Moscow residence.
A letter was sent by Reade's attorney, Jonathan Levy, on March 21 to Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan, who chairs the House Judiciary Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. The letter, which was shared by Reade and Levy with Newsweek, explains Reade's intent to testify remotely from any mutually agreeable location regarding her experiences "as the target of an unconstitutional FBI special operation to silence her. Newsweek reached out to Jordan via email for comment.
White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates referred Newsweek to comments he made about Reade last year to Fox News Digital when she attempted to become a Russian citizen, saying: "I won't attempt to speak for an aspiring Russian citizen, the convicted Russian spy who's sponsoring her, or the foreign government with which she has chosen to align."

(113,872 posts)and came up with nothing among countless "friends," and acquaintances except that she had a penchant for lying about any number of things (graduating from college being but one). Given this all came to public attention during the peak "Me Too" movement when most MSM were quite careful to carefully investigate and not make negative assumptions any claims of "whitewash" seem very unlikely.
So, maybe Putin will be your best sympathetic ear, Tara?

Right. An American "independent," lives in Moscow and calls Newsweek to bitch about being ignored by MAGAts.
JFC what a stupid pathetic liar.
"The reaction to her complaint ultimately led her to seek refuge in Moscow in May 2023."
