Joe Biden has denied a former staffer’s allegation of sexual assault, saying the accusation is “not true”. The statement is Mr Biden’s first public comment on an accusation of sexual assault by his former Senate staffer, Tara Reade. “I’m saying unequivocally, it never, never happened,” Mr Biden said in an interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe. “The former staffer has said she filed a complaint back in 1993,” Mr Biden said. They are digging in despite the fact that it could renew attention on the multiple sexual assault allegations lodged against Mr Trump.
