Former Vice President Joe Biden will appear on MSNBC's Morning Joe on Friday, publicly addressing for the first time an allegation of sexual assault made against him by Tara Reade, a former aide in his Senate office.
Reade has claimed that in the early 1990s, when Biden was a senator from Delaware, he assaulted her while they were in the Senate building. Biden is now the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, and while he has remained silent on the matter, his campaign has pushed back against the accusation.
