In 1993, Tara Reade worked as staff assistant in then-Senator Joe Biden’s office. One day, according to Reade, Biden allegedly sexually assaulted her. She claims she filed a written complaint with a congressional personnel office, but as of today, no copy of this complaint has surfaced.
All attempts to seek help both internally and externally were unsuccessful, according to Reade, who alleges she was stripped of her responsibilities and treated poorly as a result.
In 2020 when Joe Biden was running for president, Reade filed a police report with the Washington, D.C., police, but the case remained inactive because the timing of the alleged assault fell outside the statute of limitations. She was even denied help from Time's Up — a nonprofit that supports survivors of sexual harassment, assault, and abuse. However, the organization had ties to Anita Dunn, one of Joe Biden’s top advisers.
The intimidation, threats, and false accusations Reade suffered from her advocacy became overwhelming. In 2020, Reade’s Twitter records were subpoenaed by a grand jury, her bank accounts were disrupted, and a FedEx package containing her book manuscript, which was a memoir detailing her alleged abuse, mysteriously disappeared.
Fearing for her safety, Reade relocated to Russia in 2023 after being granted asylum. Even though Biden is no longer in office, she remains in Russia today, as she fears the Biden family will seek retribution.
In 2024, Reade filed a $10 million tort claim against the Department of Justice, alleging that the DOJ and the FBI targeted her after she went public with her claims, but in February of this year, she increased the claim to $100 million.
On a recent episode of “Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” Reade joined Sara to share the details of her legal battles, including why she amended the lawsuit to include Jill and Hunter Biden.
In 2020, when Biden was confronted about Reade’s accusation, he “looked confused” and “stuttered” through a denial, says Reade. “I don't know whether he remembered what he did or not,” she says.
But in 2023, it was clear to everyone that he was in severe mental decline. “They had already issued a statement that he wasn't fit for court,” says Reade.
That’s why she’s amended her lawsuit to include Jill and Hunter.
“Hunter and Jill Biden were both working as de facto presidents — unauthorized and unelected — and so they do not fall under any kind of protection against a lawsuit because they shouldn't have been doing what they were doing in the first place,” she tells Sara. “My lawsuit is the first one to hold this administration accountable ...for the fact that somebody else was pulling the strings and, you know, running the show.”
The “cabal” that was puppeteering Joe Biden was bigger than just Hunter and Jill, though. There were numerous people pulling strings behind the scenes.
“That Democrat elite cabal is still there, and they're waiting like a spider for the next election,” warns Reade, pointing to Gavin Newsom, Pete Buttigieg, and Barack Obama.
“This is a dangerous time, and the way I was treated was a microcosm of a macrocosm. There were so many Americans that were targeted and abused by the Biden regime via a weaponized FBI and DOJ.”
Reade hopes that the DOJ will allow whistleblower hearings related to the numerous allegations of abuse and corruption in 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 says.

How the Hunter vs. Melania feud reveals Biden family character
Hunter Biden is making headlines again — and this time it’s not for slurs, scandals, or his messy personal life, but for taking direct aim at first lady Melania Trump.
In a new appearance on “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan,” the president’s son alleged that Donald and Melania Trump were “very close” with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"Of anyone in power right now, or anyone that held power to the degree that Donald Trump is holding power now, his connections to Jeffrey Epstein are beyond a doubt that he and Epstein were very close friends for a very long period of time. … According to his biographer, Jeffrey Epstein introduced Melania. That’s how ... the first lady and the president met,” Hunter claimed in the video.
But Melania isn’t letting it slide. Her legal team is demanding the interview's removal and that Hunter retract the statements and issue a public apology — or fork over $1 billion in damages and face a lawsuit.
“That’s a lot of money,” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales remarked on "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered." “Listen, last I checked, in Hunter Biden’s baby-mama drama, he was asked to pay child support in Arkansas to the stripper who has his kid that he doesn't actually acknowledge, and he said 'I can't pay; I'm broke.' ... Now he could afford to to go to South Africa for many months ... and he wasn't broke for that. ... Broke for his own daughter. I'm just not sure that $1 billion is something Hunter Biden can afford right now."
According to Gonzales, “the Burisma gravy train has run out.”
In a follow-up interview, Callaghan offered Hunter the chance to apologize to Melania directly: "I've got a billion-dollar document in my hands. ... So now we're here, maybe to give you the platform to apologize to the first lady for your statements that you made about her possible connection to Jeffrey Epstein."
“F**k that. That’s not going to happen,” Hunter responded.
Gonzales muses, “A good person would say, ‘Of course I apologize for that, I didn’t mean any ill intent; I guess I had wrong information; I'm sorry.' ... But that's not what Hunter Biden does."

Melania Trump nails Hunter Biden with billion-dollar legal threat
First lady Melania Trump has threatened legal action against Hunter Biden, the son of the former president, over comments he made about her and pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein.
The first lady's attorney fired off the threat against Biden in a letter accusing him of making "false, defamatory, disparaging, and inflammatory statements" about her, according to Fox News Digital.
'These false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums.'
The letter demanded Biden retract the claims from a YouTube video titled "Hunter Biden Returns," as well as release an apology.
Biden is quoted as making the claim that Epstein first introduced Donald Trump to Melania, which the letter says is a false claim and defamatory per se.
"These false, disparaging, defamatory, and inflammatory statements are extremely salacious and have been widely disseminated throughout various digital mediums," the letter reads. "Indeed, the video has since been re-published by various media outlets, journalists, and political commentators with millions of social media followers that have disseminated the false and defamatory statements therein to tens of millions of people worldwide."

The letter offered a deadline of Aug. 7 for Biden to comply with the request, or they would file a lawsuit asking for more than $1 billion in damages.
Fox News Digital reported that a source close to the matter said Biden did not comply with the request by the deadline.
Neither Biden nor his attorney responded to a request for comment from FND.

Hunter Biden rejects Epstein suicide story, cites evidence of foul play
The official narrative is that Jeffrey Epstein died by suicide via hanging in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10, 2019.
Of course, nobody believes that — including Hunter Biden, apparently.
In a recent interview on “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan,” Hunter made it clear that he doesn’t buy the Epstein suicide narrative any more than the rest of the country does.
Liz Wheeler played a clip of his surprising comments on a recent episode of the “The Liz Wheeler Show.”
“Do you think it was, like, a suicide?” Callaghan asked.
“No, nobody does. I mean, really — except for, all of a sudden, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino,” Hunter scoffed.
He then listed multiple reasons why the suicide narrative falls flat.
He first brought up renowned forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Baden, who observed the autopsy and resolutely determined that Epstein almost certainly died by homicidal strangulation, not suicide by hanging.
“He talks about all the different ... fractures in his neck and how it was impossible that he could have done that,” Hunter said.
He then pointed to Michael Franzese’s recent interview with NewsNation, during which he claimed suicide was virtually impossible in the cell Epstein occupied. Franzese was a former mob boss who was incarcerated in the exact same cell as Epstein years prior.
“I spent seven months on that tier and in those cells, and the first thing I have to say: There’s just no way you are able to commit suicide. There’s just no way. There’s just no way to hang yourself. There’s nothing from the ceiling. There’s nothing from the — you’d have to be a midget and work really hard to try to hang yourself,” he said.
Hunter’s third reason for dismissing the suicide narrative was the security footage of the night Epstein died. “You have the tape that comes out, and it’s not just one minute missing from the tape, it’s actually three minutes,” he said.
He then brought up Jean-Luc Brunel, a French associate of Jeffrey Epstein, who reportedly hung himself in his prison cell in February 2022, and Virginia Giuffre, Epstein’s most vocal accuser, who also reportedly died by suicide in April 2025.
“Now I’m feeding into the conspiracy, but clearly, I mean, who believes that he killed himself? Nobody,” Hunter concluded.
Liz was pleasantly surprised with Hunter’s candor and how much he knew about the controversy.
“You can tell this is not someone who is just commenting on the wavetops of the news. He’s actually following this story extremely closely because he knew all of the details,” she says.
Callaghan also asked Hunter who he thought killed Epstein.
To hear Hunter’s answer, watch the episode above.

Are Democrats reclaiming the 'podcast bros'?
President Donald Trump notched a historic victory in 2024, becoming the first Republican to sweep all seven swing states and to secure the popular vote since 1984. His success has been attributed to many different aspects of his campaign, but one unorthodox strategy stuck out.
In between countless campaign rallies and many media appearances, Trump made his rounds on several platforms that have been casually dubbed as the "bro podcasts." The slate of comedians, sports enthusiasts, and cultural commentators is a far cry from the traditional presidential debates brokered by corporate news outlets, yet the reach is arguably greater.
'Like a lot of normal Americans, some of the country's top podcast hosts aren't ideologues, they're just people who detest the political establishment.'
Trump subsequently made significant gains across several demographics, including Gen Z men, a generation that is measurably more conservative compared to their Millennial and Gen X predecessors. At the same time, their support for Trump is beginning to slip, and Democrats can smell blood in the water.
Many of these podcast hosts were perceived as sympathetic toward Trump during his campaign simply for interviewing the Republican frontrunner. It's important to clarify, however, that many of those same podcasters were in talks with former Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign, which eventually turned down all their interview requests — but not before making a pit stop at Alex Cooper's notorious sex podcast, "Call Her Daddy," of course.

The bottom line is that these podcasters are not the MAGA apologists the legacy media claims they are. Within the first six months of Trump's second term, the same hosts who sat down with the president leading up to November have also come out and criticized some policies implemented by the administration.
'Democrats shouldn’t approach these podcasts as a place to score points.'
Theo Von, the beloved comedian who hosts "This Past Weekend," has been especially critical of Trump's foreign policy and Israel's ongoing attacks in Gaza. Trump campaigned on ending foreign wars, yet the same conflicts rage on, leaving Von and many other Americans dissatisfied with the administration's trajectory.
“What’s the win for us? We’re just involved in some other thing while we have suffering here at home," Von said in June as tensions grew between Iran and Israel.
The Epstein saga, which dominated the political news cycle for over a week, also sowed division among podcast hosts and American voters alike.
"Sure feels like the dark arts are afoot!" Von said in response to the GOP's handling of Epstein-related votes. "Why no vote Speaker Johnson?"
Comedian Andrew Schulz, who co-hosts the "Flagrant" podcast, has also criticized certain aspects of the Trump administration and its immigration policy. Schulz, who was a lifelong Democrat, told Saagar Enjeti of "Breaking Points" that elected officials ought to be held accountable, even if you supported them.
"If you're not willing to hold the person that you voted for to the standards that they expected, then you're not a real person that cares about what's happening in America," Schulz said.
Because podcasters like Schulz and Von refuse to cast themselves into ideological molds, there is room for a wide range of voices to share their thoughts and exchange ideas with the popular hosts. Many of these critiques are echoed by their audiences, and some Democrats are seizing the opportunity.
Since the inauguration, Trump's approval ratings among Gen Z and male voters have declined, in some cases in the double digits. One CBS poll shows that Gen Z approval of Trump has declined from 55% to 28% in just six months, while overall male approval has dipped from 60% to 47%. Notably, these are the same demographics that make up a large portion of the viewership for podcasts like "The Joe Rogan Experience" and "Flagrant."
'Democrats are desperate to get back their momentum with young voters, especially men, by looking like regular people.'
Emily Jashinsky, host of "After Party with Emily Jashinsky," told Blaze News that the real reason these podcasts have amassed great followings, particularly with young men, is not because of their party affiliation but because they are willing to go against the grain.
"Like a lot of normal Americans, some of the country's top podcast hosts aren't ideologues, they're just people who detest the political establishment," Jashinsky told Blaze News. "Hunter Biden actually framed himself and his father as victims of the political establishment in his conversation with Andrew Callaghan, and that's not an accident."

When asked point-blank if the "podcast bro" audience was "up for grabs" for Democrats, Schulz answered bluntly.
"Absolutely," Schulz said. "I'm up for grabs."
Democrats have since been making their rounds on the podcast circuit. Everyone from former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna of California, and even Gov. Gavin Newsom have made appearances alongside the "podcast bros."
"We're allegedly these 'big MAGA podcasts,' and Pete Buttigieg comes on and has the biggest interview of his career," Schulz said. "Not our biggest interview of our career, his biggest interview."
"It's very simple. Whoever has the ideas that meet the needs of the people and can actively convince us that they can execute those ideas is gonna win our vote."
"Democrats shouldn’t approach these podcasts as a place to score points," Khanna, who has previously appeared on "The Glenn Beck Podcast," told Blaze News. "I have always believed in talking with people who have different views — whether that’s on Fox News or podcasts. It’s about exchanging ideas and building authentic relationships."
Although Democrats like Newsom and Buttigieg are broadly considered to be figures of the establishment, their willingness to participate in challenging, long-form interviews is unorthodox for their party.
However, their willingness to deviate from their party norms should not be taken as a newfound embrace for free speech and open dialogue. Rather, this shift among certain Democrats seems to be simply an opportunistic form of damage control in response to America's overwhelming rejection of their party platform.
"Pete Buttigieg and James Talarico have showed up on programs like 'Pardon My Take,' 'Flagrant,' and 'Rogan' now that cancel culture is over, and Democrats are desperate to get back their momentum with young voters, especially men, by looking like regular people," Jashinsky added.
"Ceding these spaces to the right for fear of offending progressive mobs gave the right way more power to define the left because the left would refuse to even enter the arenas, let alone by criticizing the Democratic establishment," Jashinsky said. "Now, they're trying to do both."
