Joe Biden is expected to give his first public comments over a sexual assault allegation that has roiled his presidential campaign. They are digging in despite the fact that it could renew attention on the multiple sexual assault allegations lodged against Mr Trump. Some in the party have been urging Mr Biden to mount a more forceful response to the allegation. On Thursday, US house speaker Nancy Pelosi also defended Mr Biden. Speaking about the allegation for the first time on Friday, Mr Trump said Mr Biden “should respond” before proceeding to criticise the treatment of Mr Kavanaugh as “an absolute disgrace to our country”.
