Tara Reade, Biden Assault Accuser, Returns to U.S. From Russia to Press Charges

Tara Reade, the U.S. woman who moved to Russia after accusing President Joe Biden of sexual assault, said she has returned to the U.S. to press charges against the incumbent running for re-election.

Reade said during the 2020 presidential race that then-Senator Biden sexually assaulted her on Capitol Hill in August 1993 while she was working in Biden’s congressional office. Biden categorically denied Reade’s claim.

In May 2023, she appeared in Moscow asking President Vladimir Putin for Russian citizenship in a press conference organized by state-run media, claiming that a Republican Congressman had warned her she was in physical danger.

“I am in the USA, and I hope to have some measure of justice,” Reade wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday evening.

Reade, 60, said that after making her allegations public in 2020, she was threatened with prison, her life was threatened, and she was called a Russian agent.
