Yikes. As you wake up in the west, around twothirds of the states are relaxing coronavirus restrictions while california is closing some of its beaches again. Well get to that in a second. First, anthony, weve got news from former Vice President joe biden. Thats right, gail. The Presumptive Democratic nominee said this morning that a Sexual Assault hes accused of never happened. Senior investigative correspondent catherine erridge is in washington. Weve been waiting for weeks for mr. Biden to comment on this. Thats right, anthony. Good morning. A short time ago, joe biden gave his first direct response to the allegation that he sexually assaulted his senator staffer in 1993. That allegation first came to light in march but it wasnt until today after increasing pressure that the former Vice President went on the record. No, it is not true. I am saying unequivocally, it never, never happened. Reporter responding to the Sexual Assault claim that hes been under increasing pressure to address, joe biden spoke out to msnbc. Women have a right to be heard. And they should investigate the claims they make. But in the end, the truth is what matters. In this case, the truth is, the claims are false. Reporter in tara reade worked in then senator joe bidens office. He was asked to deliver biden his gym bag and he assaulted more in a capitol hill hallway. I remember the coldness of the wall, and i remember his hands underneath my blouse and underneath my skirt. And his fingers penetrating me as he was trying to kiss me. Reporter reades allegations have expanded over time. Last year, she told a Northern California newspaper that biden, quote, used to put his hand on my shoulder and run his finger up my neck. I would just kind of freeze. However, she didnt tell reporters about the alleged assault until this march. Reade, a selfdescribed lifelong democrat, says she did speak with her supervisors in senator bidens office at the time about alleged Sexual Harassment from the senator. And then faced retaliation. It shattered my life and changed the trajectory of my whole career in life. And i lost my job after i complained. And i was fired. Reporter but two former biden Senate Staffers reade claims she spoke to told us they had no recollection of any complaint. If there are records, biden said they would be in the National Archives. I am asking the secretary of the senate today to identify whether any such document exists. If it, does make it public. Reporter reade has spoken to cbs news multiple times in the past month. And on wednesday, cbs formerly requested an oncamera interview. Reades brother and a former neighbor tell cbs news she told them about the alleged Sexual Assault back in the 90s. Reade admits she does not have any record of her complaint and did not file a Police Report here in washington, d. C. , until last month, tony. Catherine, thank you very much. Lets get to chief washington correspondent major garrett. Hes the host of the debriefing podcasts and one of the best reporters in washington. Major, joe biden is denying this outright. Hes not saying i dont recall. Hes saying flatly, it did not happen. Is that answer sufficient . Of course, voters will decide, but the Biden Campaign knows there are at least three metrics upon which the former Vice President will be judged. Seriousness. For a long time, the Biden Campaign wanted to dismiss this or make this statement, or this allegation go away with a statement from the campaign. Now the Vice President is dealing with it directly. So that indicates seriousness of the allegation itself. Second, transparency. The Vice President said you can look at the records in the National Archives. Not his personal records at the university of delaware. That might create some transparency friction. The third california, consistency. During the kavanaugh hearings, democrats, joe biden among them, said the allegation itself carries such weight that it must be dealt with as a matter of not absolute fact, near fact. In this case, the former Vice President is saying, yes, theres an allegation, but i deny it, and that should carry greater weight than the allegation itself. On the question of consistency, many voters are going to look at his past statements in the kavanaugh case and this one and draw their own conclusions. Major, thats joe bidens response. You mentioned the Biden Campaign there. What is the future of this campaign as this allegation stays in the air and miss reade goes forward with interviews . How does this change the dynamic between joe biden and voters potentially . Well, joe biden has said that he is a person of character and one of the central reasons that he should be elected the next president of the United States is hell improve the character, the judgment and the believability of the oval office. All those things are going to be tested with this allegation from tara reade. Shell also have to meet standards of proof or standards of evidentiary proof that voters will evaluate. You can say this clearly, tony, two or three weeks ago, the Biden Campaign did not expect amid covid19 and all t the oth News Coverage around that, that this story would carry the velocity and weight it has and require the former Vice President to deal with it directly. But now that he has, the Biden Campaign hopes in the not too distant future it can turn a corner away from this. Major, key Democratic Women like nancy pelosi and Stacey Abrams who is believed to be in the running as a possible biden vp pick, are supporting him right now. What does that say to you, if anything . It says that they do believe that net net, joe bidens character is far superior, not only to President Trump but on this measure, his denial should be and ought to be believed. And if i think given more time to talk about President Trump, they would say, as some this morning have, this is something that the president needs to address as well. There are no shortages of complaints against President Trump. About assault, behavior that is inkong ruous with modern treatment of women, disrespectful, offensive, all those other things. President trump during the cam. A campaign and during his presidency has tried to brush all of those away. That i guarantee you will be among the things democrats who remain supportive of the former Vice President will say if in fact the story continues to move forward. All right. Major, thank you very much. Anthony . Thank you both. Federal guidelines to slow the spread of the coronavirus expired at midnight. At least 33 states have eased their chuck gannon owns two house of pies restaurants in the houston area and employs 130 people.
