• More than a dozen former acquaintances relayed encounters with Tara Reade in which she spoke highly of former Vice President Joe Biden, adding that she had lied and took advantage of their goodwill, Politico reported.
• Kelly Klett, an attorney and advocate for domestic abuse victims, formerly rented a room to Reade in 2018, who told her that she was a domestic abuse victim and was taking some time to study for her bar exam.
• Reade graduated from the Seattle University School of Law in 2004, and Klett said Reade would often ask to delay or a pass on her rent, which she had already reduced to $200. Klett eventually asked Reade to leave.
• "I support women who have been assaulted," Klett said. "Unfortunately, I cannot support Tara Reade. When she first contacted me regarding this issue, she could not provide enough credible information. And since that time the story has evolved in the media. I question her motives."
• Reade's attorney Douglas Wigdor told Politico that he thought it was unfair to parallel Reade's lies to her former landlords to the authenticity of her sexual assault allegations.
