um, no. it doesn't.
- A 1996 court declaration from Tara Reade's ex-husband shows that she spoke of the harassment she experienced working in presumptive Democratic presidential nominee and former Vice President Joe Biden's Senate office in 1993, The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California reported.
- The declaration did not say Biden was the perpetrator nor does it have any mention of the sexual assault allegations that Reade first spoke of earlier this year.
- Biden has publicly denied the claims. He told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" last week, "I'm saying unequivocally: It never happened."
Tara Reade, a former staffer in then-Sen. Joe Biden's office told her now ex-husband she experienced harassment in Biden's office, a 1996 court document shows,
The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California reported.
According to The Tribune, Theodore Dronen wrote the court declaration, while contesting a restraining order Reade filed against him days after he filed for divorce.
The declaration shows that Reade told Dronen about harassment in Biden's office when she worked there in 1993, but it did not say Biden was the perpetrator. The document also does not mention Reade's sexual assault allegations, according to The Tribune.
In the document, filed on March 25, 1996, which seems to be the only known written record from the time that mentions Reade's allegations, Dronen wrote that Reade had told him of "a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in US Senator Joe Biden's office," the Tribune reported.
