The National Archives said it has no record of any files that might contain evidence of a sexual misconduct complaint against Joe Biden from 27 years ago.
The National Archives said Friday it has no record of any files from a congressional office that might contain evidence of a sexual misconduct complaint against Vice President Joe Biden from 27 years ago, when he was a senator.
Earlier this year Biden was hit with an accusation that he assaulted a former member of his staff in 1993. The accuser, Tara Reade, said she had also filed a formal complaint of sexual harassment about her time working in Biden's office but does not have a copy. She said the harassment complaint did not include details of the assault.
“There is only one place a complaint of this kind could be — the National Archives,” the statement said. “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 for 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.
