Just days ago a journalist for The Intercept published a transcript from
a 1993 episode of Larry King Live that corroborated one particular claim
of Joe Biden accuser Tara Reade.
In interviews, Reade had mentioned that her mother had made a phone call
into King’s show, in which she made reference to her experience being
sexually harassed by a Senator. “I remember it being an anonymous call
and her saying my daughter was sexually harassed and retaliated against
and fired, where can she go for help? I was mortified” Reade said.
The Intercept confirmed that that call did take place, and that Reade’s
mother said what her daughter said she said.
The right-wing Media Research Center was able to track down and publish
the video of the exchange from their archive before CNN was. Only CNN
could be a day late on reporting on a story that occurred on their very network.

While CNN did cover the new development (because they had to), they
quickly deleted that particular Larry King Live episode off of their
archive on “Google Play,” as if that wouldn’t just alert more people to
the video’s existence.
And now, there’s even more corroboration of Reade’s claims, as two
individuals have come forward to support her allegations.
According to Business Insider:
Two more sources have come forward to corroborate certain
details about Reade’s claims. One of them — a former neighbor
of Reade’s — has told Insider for the first time, on the
record, that Reade disclosed details about the alleged assault
to her in the mid-1990s.
“This happened, and I know it did because I remember talking
about it,” Lynda LaCasse, who lived next door to Reade in the
mid-1990s, told Insider.
The other source, Lorraine Sanchez, who worked with Reade in
the office of a California state senator in the mid-1990s,
told Insider that she recalls Reade complaining at the time
that her former boss in Washington DC had sexually harassed
her, and that she had been fired after raising concerns.
Business insider sought access to Biden’s senatorial papers, which are
housed at the University of Delaware to see if they could shine any
additional light on Reade’s claims. However, the University denid the
request, claiming that they would be closed off to the public until two
years after Biden retires from public life.
What will Biden’s fellow Democrats have to say about this?
Given their reaction thus far, probably nothing.

Every American should want President Trump and his administration to
handle the coronavirus epidemic effectively and successfully. Those who
seem eager to see the president fail and to call every administration
misstep a fiasco risk letting their partisanship blind them to the
demands not only of civic responsibility but of basic decency.
