An American woman who accused US President Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her has flown to Moscow and is seeking Russian citizenship, reports BBC.
Speaking to a state-run Russian media, Tara Reade, 59, said she felt safe in the country and wanted to stay.
"When I got off the plane in Moscow, for the first time in a very long time I felt safe, and I felt heard and felt respected," The Guardian newspaper quotes Reade as saying during an interview with Sputnik.
Tara alleged Biden assaulted her while she was working in his congressional office in 1993.
However, Biden strongly denied her allegation. "Unequivocally it never, never happened," he said.
Tara Reade worked as an assistant to Biden when he was a senator for Delaware. She made headlines in 2020 as his presidential campaign was getting under way, when she claimed that he assaulted her in a Capitol Hill corridor when she was 29.
She accused him of forcing her against a wall and putting his hands under her shirt and skirt.
