From the Daily Mail:
Joe Biden puts Chris Dodd in charge of vetting his running mate
Former Vice President Joe Biden has selected former Sen. Chris Dodd as a key member of his committee that will select a female running mate, despite allegations about the Connecticut senator's conduct involving a woman at a D.C. restaurant with Sen. Ted Kennedy in the 1980s.
Biden, who has announced that his running mate will be a woman, revealed his search committee a day after picking up the endorsement of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
He has come under fire for not yet issuing a public comment on sexual assault allegations by former Senate aide Tara Reade. His campaign has furiously denied the allegations, which it says are untrue.
Dodd served in the Senate from 1981 to 2001, where he helmed the Senate Banking and Financial Services Committee and helped author the Dodd-Frank legislation that bares his name. He has known Biden for decades.
He also developed a close friendship with the Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy, and the two men became the subjects of reporting about alleged alcohol-fueled conduct.
A story by the late Michael Kelly published in GQ in 1990 included allegations about a drunken encounter alleged to have involved the two men long before the arrival #MeToo movement would tarnish the reputations of many powerful men.
Kelly reported that a waitress confirmed the details of the 'waitress sandwich' story, which was originally published in Penthouse.
According to the story, the men were finishing up a long dinner in a private room at the D.C. restaurant La Brasserie and were 'drunk.'
