Biden sex assault accuser Tara Reade asks for Russian citizenship

A woman who accused Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential race of sexual assault appeared Tuesday in Moscow and said she was asking President Vladimir Putin for Russian citizenship.

Tara Reade, who worked in now-President Biden's congressional office for a short period in 1993, said she wanted to stay in Russia after a Republican lawmaker told her she was in physical danger.

Reade, 59, said in an interview streamed by the Sputnik media group -- a Russian press outlet -- that she'd arrived in Russia as a vacationer.
