Trump Gives Biden Advice in Fighting off Assault Allegations
In a podcast interview on Friday, President Trump told Joe Biden to "fight" Tara Reade's accusations of sexual assault and yet recognized that Reade's narrative was "compelling."
The president gave his opinion on the Dan Bongino Show, stating that he too is a victim of "false nonsense accusations" as he talks just hours after the presumed Democratic presidential candidate held a press conference denying Reade's allegations of assault in 1993.
The president talked about his history of being a "famous guy" with women and stressed that he understands false accusations. Trump spoke about identifying Tara Reade and the reports of her mother as "credible" to showing sympathy for Biden - carving distinctions with the allegations on himself and those against Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
After launching his campaign a year ago, a few other women have accused Biden of improper and unnecessary contact.
Tara Reade's Allegations Against Joe Biden
Recently, Reade submitted a lawsuit with Washington, D.C. authorities stating she was sexually assaulted by Biden while serving in the Senate.
The sexual assault claim against Biden has fallen forward in interviews with various news outlets in recent weeks.
Reade reported in a news outlet that she was told to send a duffel bag to the then-Delaware senator in 1993 while she was serving as an assistant in his Senate office. Reade stated that in a hallway somewhere within the Capitol Hill compound that Biden held "had [her] up against the wall; he used his knee to spread open [her] legs," then "put his fingers inside [her]."
"It never, never happened," Biden said, refuting the claim on Friday.
Biden had this to say in a statement: "While the details of these allegations of sexual harassment and sexual assault are complicated, two things are not complicated. One is that women deserve to be treated with dignity and respect, and when they step forward, they should be heard, not silenced. The second is that their stories should be subject to appropriate inquiry and scrutiny."

Donald Trump's Advice on the Issue
Several women have accused Trump himself of sexual harassment. He has consistently refuted those accusations as well.
Trump said in an interview: "I've been falsely accused by people that I've never even seen, I've never even seen many of these people. And some of these people, I met them - zero interest, OK? Like zero."
"I guess in a way; you could say I'm sticking up for him. But the mother was very compelling certainly, and the girlfriend or the friends were very compelling. And certainly far more compelling than anything they had with respect to Brett Kavanaugh," he continued.
Trump stepped in after the refusal by Biden became the first public comment by any Democrat on the issue. "I would just say to Joe Biden, 'Just go out and fight it,'" Trump stated to former Secret Service agent turned radio host Dan Bongino.
