Tara Reade, the former Biden staffer who accused Biden of sexually harassing her in 1993, joined Megyn Kelly for an exclusive interview which was published Thursday.

In the interview, Reade called for Biden to drop out.

A court filing from 1996 recently made public, shows Reade told her ex-husband of the alleged sexual harassment in 1993. The Tribune in San Luis Obispo has more:

A court document from 1996 shows former Senate staffer Tara Reade told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden in 1993.The declaration — exclusively obtained by The Tribune in San Luis Obispo, California — does not say Biden committed the harassment nor does it mention Reade’s more recent allegations of sexual assault.Reade’s then-husband Theodore Dronen wrote the court declaration. Dronen at the time was contesting a restraining order Reade filed against him days after he filed for divorce, Superior Court records show.In it, he writes Reade told him about “a problem she was having at work regarding sexual harassment, in U.S. Senator Joe Biden’s office.”
