Democratic presidential candidate Biden says sexual assault 'never happened'
Reuters ^ | May 1, 2020 | by Trevor Hunnicutt

U.S. Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on Friday denied that he sexually assaulted a former Senate aide in 1993, his first public remarks on the subject after he faced intense pressure to address the accusation.

“I want to address allegations by a former staffer that I engaged in misconduct 27 years ago,” Biden said in an emailed statement. “They aren’t true. This never happened.”

He called on the U.S. Senate to ask the National Archives to release any personnel records that could indicate whether the aide filed a complaint against Biden at the time.

He said that personal papers from his Senate years, which were donated to the University of Delaware and have not yet been available to the public, do not contain any personnel files.

Reuters has not been able to independently confirm Reade’s accusation and also was unable to reach Reade or a representative for her for comment.

Weren’t their reports that his staff was pawing through the old records a day or so ago?

And like the FBI, they'll never find anything...

Questions I would like to see Biden asked: Why would someone make up an allegation of sexual abuse against a prominent political figure? Could this happen to a Republican? How can you tell the difference between an allegation that’s true and one that’s false?

Ok.
So you posted one propaganda piece about Biden from Reuters for Biden, then posted the same story from the AP as well, all within 5 minutes?
The Biden propaganda department must be busy right now.
We get it, Biden denies sexual assault allegations just like Bill Clinton's “ I did not have sexual relations with that woman Miss Lewinsky”. What's new?
Every Dem politician has denied sexual assault allegations to start off with.

Okay then, back to the Campaign...

I assume the story about this was written as soon as he announced he would be appearing on Morning Blow.
