Tara Reade’s attorney announced Friday that he will no longer represent her as a client.
[...]
The announcement came a day after defense lawyers in California said they were reviewing whether she misrepresented her credentials in past cases where she testified as an expert witness.
[...]
In a statement, Douglas Wigdor, [a 2016 donor to President Trump and the Republican National Committee,] said the decision did not have to do with the question of whether Joe Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, as Reade has alleged.
[...]
Wigdor asserted he made the decision earlier in the week.
Politico
Suuuure you did.
“Our Firm no longer represents Tara Reade. Our decision, made on May 20, is by no means a reflection on whether then-Senator Biden sexually assaulted Ms. Reade,” Wigdor wote. “On that point, our view — which is the same view held by the majority of Americans, according to a Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll — has not changed.”
[...]
“Much of what has been written about Ms. Reade is not probative of whether then-Senator Biden sexually assaulted her, but rather is intended to victim-shame and attack her credibility on unrelated and irrelevant matters,” he wrote. “We genuinely wish Ms. Reade well and hope that she, as a survivor, is treated fairly. We have and will continue to represent survivors regardless of their alleged predator’s status or politics.”
Then why are you dumping her?
