Tara Reade's decades-long fight for justice has taken a sharp turn with a lawsuit now targeting not just Joe Biden, but also Jill and Hunter Biden.

As reported by The Blaze, Reade, who worked as a staff assistant in then-Senator Joe Biden’s office in 1993, alleges a sexual assault by Biden during her tenure. Her claims, first made public years ago, have now ballooned into a $100 million tort claim against the Department of Justice, with new amendments naming family members as key players in an alleged cover-up.

This isn't just a personal grievance; it’s a piercing accusation against a system Reade says failed her at every turn. From being stripped of duties after raising concerns to facing intimidation and threats, her story paints a grim picture of retaliation that many Americans might find disturbingly familiar in today’s political climate.

Uncovering a Long-Buried Allegation

Back in 1993, Reade claims she filed a written complaint with a congressional personnel office after the alleged assault, but no record of it has ever surfaced. All efforts to seek help, both within and outside official channels, were met with silence or worse, according to her account.

The cold shoulder didn’t end there; when she went public in 2020 during Biden’s presidential run, a police report filed in Washington, D.C., went nowhere due to the statute of limitations. Even Time's Up, a nonprofit meant to support survivors, turned her away, a move Reade ties to its connections with Biden adviser Anita Dunn.

Reade’s persistence in the face of such roadblocks raises questions about how allegations against powerful figures are handled. If true, this suggests a machinery of protection that prioritizes image over accountability, a troubling thought for anyone who values fairness over political clout.

Intimidation and Exile in Russia

The fallout from speaking out was severe, with Reade alleging threats, false accusations, and invasive actions like subpoenas of her Twitter records by a grand jury in 2020. Her bank accounts were disrupted, and a FedEx package containing her memoir manuscript about the alleged abuse vanished without explanation.

Fearing for her safety, Reade sought asylum in Russia in 2023, where she remains today despite Biden no longer being in office. She cites ongoing fears of retribution from the Biden family as her reason for staying abroad, a claim that underscores the gravity of her perceived threat.

Such drastic measures—fleeing one’s country for safety—speak to a level of distrust in our institutions that should give us pause. When whistleblowers feel safer in foreign lands than at home, it’s a signal that something fundamental has eroded in the system meant to protect them.

Lawsuit Targets a Hidden Power Structure

In 2024, Reade filed a $10 million claim against the Department of Justice, alleging targeted harassment by the DOJ and FBI after going public, a figure she later raised to $100 million. The amendment to include Jill and Hunter Biden stems from her belief that they acted as “de facto presidents,” wielding unauthorized influence during Joe Biden’s evident mental decline.

“Hunter and Jill Biden were both working as de facto presidents—unauthorized and unelected,” Reade stated on “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” arguing they lack protection from lawsuits due to their alleged overreach. Her words cut to a deeper issue: if unelected family members are steering the ship, who’s truly accountable to the American people?

This accusation of a shadow administration isn’t just a personal vendetta; it’s a challenge to the transparency we expect from our leaders. When Reade claims a “cabal” beyond just Hunter and Jill was puppeteering Biden, naming figures like Gavin Newsom and Barack Obama, it fuels suspicions of an elite network operating above scrutiny.

A Call for Accountability and Hearings

Reade’s hope now rests on whistleblower hearings at the DOJ to expose what she calls widespread abuse and corruption under the Biden administration. “I would be more than willing to testify about Biden's corruption and about what he did to me and then the way he tried to cover it up,” she told Sara Gonzales, signaling her readiness to face the fire again.

Her broader warning about a lingering “Democrat elite cabal” waiting for the next election cycle is a chilling reminder of how power can entrench itself, regardless of who sits in the Oval Office. For many, her treatment—real or perceived—mirrors a larger pattern of weaponized agencies targeting dissenters, a trend that undermines trust in governance.

Ultimately, Reade’s saga is more than one woman’s fight; it’s a litmus test for whether our system can hold the powerful to account without crushing those who dare to speak. While her claims remain unproven in court, the questions they raise about retaliation, influence, and institutional failure demand answers, not dismissal, if we’re serious about justice over politics.
