Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on Thursday said Joe Biden must release “all of the information” related to the sexual assault allegations by former staffer Tara Reade.
“Well look, when you run for president of the United States, your life is an open book and I can’t imagine that Vice President Biden is not going to have to participate in releasing all of the information related to the allegations,” McConnell said during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “America’s Newsroom.”
“It’s a very challenging thing to run for president. And I think everyone who’s done that has realized that their entire life is opened up to scrutiny. And I think that’s happening to Vice President Biden and they shouldn’t be surprised.”
Biden had given 1,875 boxes of “photographs, documents, videotapes and files” to the University of Delaware in 2012.
The university originally said it would make the records open to the public two years after Biden’s last day in elected public office, but in April 2019, hours before Biden announced his bid for the White House, the university said the papers would not be released until either Dec. 31, 2019 or until two years after Biden “retires from public life,” whichever comes first.
