Joe Biden appeared on MSNBC to deny Tara Reade's sexual assault allegation

The New York Times

Speaking on Morning Joe, the presumptive Democratic nominee responded for the first time to Reade's allegation. “No, it is not true. I’m saying unequivocally it never, never happened," he said on Morning Joe. Biden added: “There is only one place a complaint of this kind could be — the National Archives. The National Archives is where the records are kept at what was then called the Office of Fair Employment Practices. I am requesting that the Secretary of the Senate ask the Archives to identify any record of the complaint she alleges she filed and make available to the press any such document. If there was ever any such complaint, the record will be there.”
