Although staffers from that era have said they do not recall any such incident, Reade said a formal inquiry would produce a different story.

If they “had to go under oath, I think they would have to admit something very different,” Reade said.

Reade said that she dropped her initial efforts to follow up on a claim she said she filed because of intimidation.

“I was 28 years old, it was scary to hear at the time. It was at the beginning of my political career, and it kind of shut me up,” Reade said.

Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert of Colorado said she would support a formal inquiry to get at the truth.

Fox News reported that at the time Reade made her initial claims, Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries of New York, who has been tapped to be the Democrats’ minority leader when the new Congress convenes, said the claims needed a serious investigation.

“It’s got to be taken seriously because this is a serious allegation raised by a serious individual and needs to be investigated seriously. We’ve probably got to hear from at some point directly,” Jeffries said then.

“I’m not really in a position to say what is the appropriate mechanism, although this needs to be taken seriously,” he said then.

Reade gave Newsweek a statement that she “would be willing to go under oath and testify to what happened in 1993,” describing herself as “politically homeless at this point and very concerned with the level of corruption.”

“The suppressing of my history with Biden is a serious hypocrisy by the Democratic power structure that is supposed to be about women’s rights,” Reade wrote.

“All of this exposes the dark belly of corruption at the highest office of the land. It must be brought into the light including the fact the Biden sexually harassed and assaulted me when I worked as his staffer in 1993. No one should be above the law,” she wrote.
