Presumptive Democratic nominee interviewed on MSNBC Covid-19 cases above 1m as White House blames China Coronavirus outbreak – global updates See all our coronavirus coverage Get a fresh perspective on America – sign up to our First Thing newsletter 1.26pm BST The portion of the interview about the sexual assault allegation has finished. Joe Scarborough has joined the panel – the tough questions were left to Brzezinski – and are asking Biden about Trump’s coronavirus response. 1.20pm BST Again pressed on his comments supporting Blasey Ford and Reade, he said the facts in this case are different. “The facts of this case do not exist. There are so many inconsistencies in this case. I assure you it did not happen. Period. Period.” Asked if he is “absolutely” sure there is no record of a complaint, Biden qualifies his response. “I know of no one who was aware of any complaint was made,” he said. 1.13pm BST Asked about his apparent discrepancy in his comments on Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual assault during his Supreme Court nomination hearing, and his denial of Reade’s claims, Biden says women should be believed. “Women have a right to be heard,” he said. “In any case the truth matters and in this case the truth is the claims are false.” 1.06pm BST Asked by Mika Brzezinski on Morning Joe whether the allegation is true, Biden replies: “No it is not true. I’m saying unequivocally, it did not happen and it didn’t.” Biden says his campaign has not reached out to Reade. He does not answer a question about whether he remembers her. He also says he does not believe a complaint exists but asks the National Archives to look for any such document. 1.03pm BST Joe Biden has emphatically denied a sexual assault allegation against him, breaking weeks of silence to address the accusation that has roiled his campaign. “They aren’t true. This never happened,” he said in a statement, released moments before his Friday appearance on Morning Joe. April was Sexual Assault Awareness Month. Every year, at this time, we talk about awareness, prevention, and the importance of women feeling they can step forward, say something, and be heard. That belief – that women should be heard – was the underpinning of a law I wrote over 25 years ago. To this day, I am most proud of the Violence Against Women Act. So, each April we are reminded not only of how far we have come in dealing with sexual assault in this country – but how far we still have to go. When I wrote the bill, few wanted to talk about the issue. It was considered a private matter, a personal matter, a family matter. I didn’t see it that way. To me, freedom from fear, harm, and violence for women was a legal right, a civil right, and a human right. And I knew we had to change not only the law, but the culture. So, we held hours of hearings and heard from the most incredibly brave women – and we opened the eyes of the Senate and the nation – and passed the law. In the years that followed, I fought to continually strengthen the law. So, when we took office and President Obama asked me what I wanted, I told him I wanted oversight of the critical appointments in the Office on Violence Against Women at the Department of Justice and I wanted a senior White House Advisor appointing directly to me on the issue. Both of those things happened. As Vice President, we started the “It’s on Us” campaign on college campuses to send the message loud and clear that dating violence is violence – and against the law. We had to get men involved. They had to be part of the solution. That’s why I made a point of telling young men this was their problem too – they couldn’t turn a blind eye to what was happening around them – they had a responsibility to speak out. Silence is complicity. In the 26 years since the law passed, the culture and perceptions have changed but we’re not done yet. It’s on us, and it’s on me as someone who wants to lead this country. I recognize my responsibility to be a voice, an advocate, and a leader for the change in culture that has begun but is nowhere near finished. So I want to address allegations by a former staffer that I engaged in misconduct 27 years ago. They aren’t true. This never happened. 12.59pm BST …and welcome to another day of coverage of the coronavirus outbreak – and politics, both concerning the pandemic and tilted towards the election in November – in the US. The main news of the morning is that Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for president, will appear on MSNBC’s Morning Joe to answer questions for the first time about an allegation of sexual assault against him. I recognize my responsibility to be a voice, an advocate, and a leader for the change in culture that has begun but is nowhere near finished. So I want to address allegations by a former staffer that I engaged in misconduct 27 years ago: They aren’t true. This never happened.
