NEW: A former neighbor of Joe Biden's accuser Tara Reade has come forward, on the record, to corroborate her sexual assault account, saying Reade discussed the allegations in detail in the mid-1990s.

@ReadeAlexandra
— is this your Mom’s voice?
In August '93, the month Tara Reade left Biden's office, a woman called the Larry King show saying her daughter had problems at a prominent senator's office but did not want to go to the press about it. The woman was Reade's late mother.

Here’s what I think and what I sent to The New York Times as comment for this story:
I can confirm NBC’s efforts to kill our Weinstein story and was personally ordered to stop reporting. And I know
@RonanFarrow
to be a completely fair and meticulous reporter.

On why LaCasse is coming forward now: “I have to support her just because that’s what happened. We need to stand up and tell the truth.”
She adds “I don’t care if they criticize me. I’ve been criticized a lot in my life...I’m tough.”

It’s worth noting that in my reporting I spoke with a former intern who worked under Tara Reade who said that as of mid-April 1993, Reade was abruptly no longer managing the interns. And this intern found that ‘odd.’ The timing coincides with when Reade says she complained

Update: while it is typical for a criminal complaint filed out of statute--like the one Tara Reade filed against Joe Biden--to be closed/archived, DC Metro Police confirmed to me, 11 days later, "This is an active investigation..."

Many questions can be answered by opening those
