evidence: Tara Reade, who accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her while she was working in his Senate office in 1993, says she will apply for Russian citizenship. Reade appeared in an event hosted by the Russian state news outlet Sputnik on Tuesday and said she came to the decision after she says she received threats in the United States. [...] Kirby said it would be "difficult to say" if Reade's allegations against Biden had anything to do with her affinity for Russia, but added that her claim that her life was at risk by the U.S. government is "absolutely false, baseless, there's nothing to that."
