The Perverted Lives of the Rich and Famous > Tara Reade bumps damage claim up to $100mn against Joe Biden; Depardieu - the hot water keeps getting deeper
Biden accuser Tara Reade seeks $100mn over US govt ‘weaponization’
The tenfold increase in her damage claim follows the confirmation of Kash Patel as the new FBI director
Tara Reade, a former congressional staffer who has accused Joe Biden of sexual assault, has amended her tort complaint against US agencies and officials following last week’s appointment of Kash Patel as FBI director.
Reade’s complaint stems from her time working with Biden in the 1990s, when he was a US senator for Delaware. Originally filed last year, the complaint alleges that Reade became the target of a concerted effort to discredit her after she publicly voiced her accusations against Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign. The purported campaign involved the “weaponization” of government entities, including the Department of Justice and the FBI, for which Reade initially sought $10 million in damages. The updated filing now claims ten times that amount.
Reade's attorney, Jonathan Levy, told Newsweek that they waited for Patel’s confirmation before revising the claim, noting that the increase was partially influenced by E. Jean Carroll’s recent lawsuit victory against Donald Trump. In May 2023, Trump was ordered to pay Carroll $5 million after a jury found him liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. In January 2024, this total rose to $83.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
Reade asserts that in 1993, Biden assaulted her inside the Senate by penetrating her with his fingers without consent. Biden has denied the allegations, while media outlets supporting his candidacy labeled the claims as not credible.
In 2023, citing safety concerns, Reade relocated to Russia, where she now contributes to RT. According to Levy, the case “strikes right at the heart of both the weaponization of the DOJ and FBI and the Russia collusion hoax. Tara Reade was immediately attacked by the FBI as a Russian disinformation asset in 2019, the same game plan used for the Hunter Biden laptop.”
That case involved a laptop left by Joe Biden’s son at a repair shop, which contained extensive personal and business records, some suggesting he had engaged in influence peddling. The Biden campaign vigorously rebutted the allegations, orchestrating a letter from dozens of former intelligence officials, which dismissed the story as bearing “all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.”
Throughout Biden’s presidency, Trump denounced various civilian lawsuits and criminal investigations against him as politically motivated “weaponization” of the government by the Democratic administration.
French actor Gérard Depardieu faces new probe for tax fraud amid sex abuse cases
Europe
French actor Gérard Depardieu is under investigation for aggravated tax fraud in France and is suspected of falsely declaring his tax residency to be in Belgium since 2013, a source close to the case said on Monday. His trial for allegedly sexually assaulting two women during a 2021 film shoot is due to begin in March.
Actor Gérard Depardieu is under investigation for aggravated tax fraud in France, a source close to the case told AFP on Monday.
The 76-year-old actor, already accused in a string of sexual assault and rape cases, is suspected of falsely declaring his tax residency to be in Belgium since 2013, the source said.
A probe of his tax status, opened this month by financial crime prosecutors, has involved raids in France and Belgium as well as police interviews, the source said.
Depardieu himself – who is also suspected of failing to declare income – has not been questioned in the tax case so far, the source said, adding that the investigation was triggered by several tip-offs.
Depardieu is the highest-profile figure to face accusations in French cinema's version of the #MeToo movement.
In October, a Paris court postponed his trial on sexual assault charges until March after his lawyer said the star was too ill to appear in court. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Depardieu became a star in France from the 1980s with roles in "The Last Metro", "Police" and "Cyrano de Bergerac", before Peter Weir's "Green Card" also made him a Hollywood celebrity.
He later acted in global productions including Kenneth Branagh's "Hamlet", Ang Lee's "Life of Pi" and Netflix's "Marseille" series.
Investigators are trying to establish whether Depardieu's declaration of residence in Belgium was false, and "how much in taxes he has deprived France of since 2013", the source said.
Depardieu said in 2012 that he would move to Belgium in protest against a wealth tax brought in under then-president Francois Hollande, a Socialist.
His move to Nechin, a small Belgian town near the French border known as a haven for wealthy French people, sparked much criticism at home, including from the prime minister at the time, Jean-Marc Ayrault, who called it "rather pathetic".
'Manhunt'
In reaction Depardieu threatened to give up his French citizenship.
He had already acquired Russian citizenship in a process fast-tracked by President Vladimir Putin, who treated him to a dinner to present him with his new passport, and Depardieu was subsequently full of praise for the Russian strongman.
Shortly before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, as tensions soared at the Ukraine border, Depardieu opened an Instagram account with a picture of himself embracing Putin.
But once the tanks started rolling into Ukraine, Depardieu changed his tune and called for an end to the fighting, saying he was against what he described as a "fratricidal war".
In late 2023, French President Emmanuel Macron came under fire for appearing to defend Depardieu by saying that the actor was the target of "a manhunt".
Paris courts are still deciding whether to go ahead with a second trial for Depardieu for allegedly raping and sexually assaulting Charlotte Arnould, the first woman to file a criminal complaint against Depardieu in 2018.
