Joe Biden accuser to detail sexual assault claims in first televised interview with Megyn Kelly

Tara Reade sat down for her first televised interview Thursday to expand on her disturbing sexual assault accusations against Joe Biden.

Reade, who alleges then-Sen. Biden pinned her against a wall at the U.S. Capitol in 1993 and penetrated her with his fingers, gave the interview to Megyn Kelly, the former Fox News anchor who now runs her own show.

In a tweet announcing the interview, Kelly said Reade's account was "riveting" and contained "a ton of news."

It wasn't immediately clear when the interview would air.

Biden has vehemently denied Reade's claims.

Last week, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee asked the National Archives to identify a complaint about the alleged assault that Reade says she filed with the Senate personnel office.

But the secretary of the Senate said over the weekend that she could not confirm whether such a complaint existed.

Even if a complaint exists, the secretary said she can't release it due to confidentiality concerns.
