Ed, what can you tell us about these allegations, and also bidens response . Reporter well, monique, the staffer, tara reade, worked for thensenator biden for nine months.

Describing the 1993 incident like this. I remember his hands underneath my bust underneath my skirt, and his fingers penetrating me as he was trying to kiss me. Reporter biden responded to the allegations for the first time on friday. Im saying unequivocally, it never, never happened. Women have a right to be heard. And the press should rigorously investigate claims they make. I will always uphold that principle. But in the end, in every case, the truth is what matters. And in this case, the truth is, the claims are false. Reporter cbs news requested an oncamera interview with reade, and we have spoken with her acquaintances, former colleagues and brother say they recall her mentioning the episode, but several benteever heard of those allegations when they worked for him. Lawyers who vetted biden in 2008 to be president Barack Obamas running mate told cbs they found no Sexual Misconduct allegations. Reade said she did not recall the exact language she used in the complaint she filed against biden in the Senate Personnel office, but said it didnt specifically mention the assault. Biden asked the senate to track down anything related to a complaint. So ed, this all comes amid new polling that shows us how the race between President Trump and biden is shaping up. And so what do those poll numbers show at this point . Reporter sure, the new poll gives biden a single digit lead over the president. The poll also shows that the economy is a top concern of voters.
