Tara Reade, a former Senate staffer who alleged Joe Biden sexually assaulted her 27 years ago, is being represented by a prominent lawyer and political donor to President Donald Trump’s 2016 Republican campaign.

“We have decided to take this matter on because every survivor has the right to competent counsel,” the firm said in a statement. Pressed by a Florida television station about Reade’s comment, Biden reiterated his denial of the allegation. Wigdor has been a supporter of Trump and provided about $55,000 in campaign contributions in 2016, according to Federal Election Commission records. He has also supported some Democratic politicians, including New York Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, and has not donated to either Trump’s or Biden’s 2020 campaign.
