Tara Reade seeks safety in Russia after accusing Biden of assault.

Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 2020, has fled the US for Russia and asked for citizenship. Reade appeared on a broadcast alongside Maria Butina, a suspected Kremlin spy, and thanked her for her assistance. Biden has denied the allegations made by Reade, who claimed that her continuing efforts to speak out publicly about the president made her feel unsafe about living in the United States. Several former US intelligence officials are suspicious of Reade's actions and public statements and believe they have the hallmarks of a Russian information operation.
