The former staffer has accused current presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her when she worked in his Senate office in 1993, and now she has a non-trivial piece of corroborating evidence.
The biggest issue with Reade has been that she told a much tamer version of her story last year to The Washington Post, and implicitly acquitted Biden of any responsibility for the kinds of sexual harassment issues she says she experienced while working for him.
Reade's mother, who is now deceased, allegedly called into Larry King Live to discuss Reade's mistreatment, but the call does not specifically reference the assault.
She told Insider that she and Reade shared a bond because they were both mothers, and their young daughters swam together in the apartment complex's indoor pool.
It was during one of these evening conversations, she said, that Reade told her about the alleged assault.
In March, she shared a link on Facebook to a story detailing Reade's allegations, with the message, "This is my good friend Tara Reade, who was assaulted by Joe Biden in 1993.".
It does make it less likely that Reade invented the assault story only recently.
