Krystal Ball First On-Camera Interview With Tara Reade On Joe Biden Sexual Assault Allegation

Krystal Ball, host of The Hill's "Rising," landed the first on-camera interview with Tara Reade, a former staffer in Joe Biden's Senate office who says the former senator sexually assaulted her in the 1990s.

"Tara says she tried to get her story out in other ways too," Krystal Ball reports. "She went to Elizabeth Warren's office and Kamala Harris as well. She got nothing back from Harris and a standard form letter from Warren. Two women who heavily ran on their gender and what their election would represent for women."

"Tara wasn't exactly hard to find after [Ryan Grim's article in The Intercept] and Katie Halper's podcast interview. [Listen below] I reached out to her on Twitter and heard back in minutes," she said. "I'll be honest, I didn't want "Rising" to be the first on-camera interview for Tara... I thought Tara deserved a full vetting and a fair hearing from a mainstream outlet."
