She also says that former US intel people told her that she might be arrested if she left Russia. She was told that because she accepted a plane ticket from a Russian media company, Biden's DOJ was considering charging her for "violating Russian sanctions," and then putting her in jail.
This is why she says she's decided to remain in Russia, and request Russian citizenship. She's not giving up her US citizenship, though. She says she doesn't feel "safe" in the US any longer.
She's supposed to testify in Congress about Biden. How will she do that from Russia? She says her lawyer has proposed she be allowed to testify by video link.
I guess if Congress doesn't allow that, she won't testify.
Tara Reade, the former Senate staffer who accused Joe Biden of sexual assault in 2020, has moved to Russia, telling state media that she hasn't felt safe in her home country since she made her allegations public. In the wake of the explosive interview in which she described the alleged 1993 sexual assault, Reade said she faced death threats, prison threats, and vicious smears against her character.
During a news conference in Moscow Tuesday, Reade said she decided to stay in Russia after receiving renewed death threats this Spring, and a Republican lawmaker told her she was in physical danger.
Back in March, she told Turning Point USA's Benny Johnson that she was in talks with Republican lawmakers about testifying before Congress. "I did reach out and said I wanted to go under oath--that I would testify in Congress, Reade said during the interview. "I have received a response. We are going to meet. And there is a possibility there will be an investigation into Joe Biden. And I will go under oath and I will testify."
