A former aide to Joe Biden is accusing the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee of sexually assaulting her during the early 1990s when he was a senator. WASHINGTON (AP) - Joe Biden on Friday was expected to give his first public comments on a sexual assault allegation that has roiled his presidential campaign.
The presumptive Democratic nominee will appear on MSNBC's “Morning Joe” to address the allegation by his former Senate staffer Tara Reade that he assaulted her in the basement of a Capitol Hill office building in the 1990s.
His campaign issued a statement in early April denying the allegation, and a number of former Biden staffers have defended their boss in interviews.
