House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), one of the top Democrats in Congress, said she accepted a statement from presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Bidens campaign in response to a sexual assault allegation made by a former Biden staffer.<\/p>\n

Tara Reade, 56, filed a lawsuit<\/a> against Biden, 77, last week accusing him of sexually assaulting her at the U.S. Capitol in 1993. Reade said her impetus for filing the suit was the harassment she received since coming forward in April 2019 with allegations against her former boss.<\/p>\n

In a statement sent to news outlets, Biden campaign spokeswoman Kate Bedingfield said: \u201cWomen have a right to tell their story, and reporters have an obligation to rigorously vet those claims. We encourage them to do so, because these accusations are false.\u201d Biden himself has not addressed the matter and has not been asked about it by reporters yet.<\/p>\n

During an appearance on MSNBCs \u201cThe Beat\u201d on Friday night, host Ari Melber asked Pelosi about the \u201caccusation of misconduct.\u201d Was she satisfied with the response?<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I am,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am very much involved in this issue. I always want to give the opportunity that women deserve to be heard. I am satisfied with his answer, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Biden has been able to avoid questions on Reades suit\u2014his campaign has ignored multiple requests for comment from The Epoch Times\u2014former rivals Sens. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) and Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)\u2014both of whom have endorsed Biden\u2014were asked about the allegation during interviews.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has said, and I agree with this, Youve got to get to the bottom of every case and all allegations,'\u201d Klobuchar said during an appearance on Melbers show.<\/p>\n

She said that viewers should read a New York Times story about the matter before adding: \u201cI think this case has been investigated. I know the vice president as a major leader on domestic abuse, I worked with him on that. And I think that, again, the viewers should read the article. It was very thorough.\u201d<\/p>\n

The article in reference originally stated: \u201cNo other allegation about sexual assault surfaced in the course of reporting, nor did any former Biden staff members corroborate any details of Ms. Reades allegation. The Times found no pattern of sexual misconduct by Mr. Biden, beyond the hugs, kisses, and touching that women previously said made them uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n

The second sentence was removed after Bidens campaign contacted the paper, executive editor Dean Baquet admitted<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Biden appeared on MSNBC on Thursday but was not asked about Reades accusation.<\/p>\n
