Kamala Harris' meme coin hits all-time high after Biden drops from White House race

The woman who alleges presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;sexually assaulted her in 1993 said in a video interview on Thursday that he should withdraw from the White House race,&nbsp;saying Thursday she'd take a polygraph about the alleged encounter if he would.

Tara Reade's comments in an television interview came six days after&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;said in his first public remarks about the alleged incident that it "never happened."

In an interview, Tara Reade urged&nbsp;Biden to "please step forward and be held accountable".

She added: "You should not be running on character for the president of the United States."

The 56-year-old&nbsp;has claimed Biden sexually assaulted her in 1993, when she was working as a staffer in his Senate office.

The former Senate staffer added that she has been hacked and received a death threat since accusing Biden of sexual assault.

Responding to Reade's latest interview,&nbsp;Biden's deputy campaign manager, Kate Bedingfield, said on Thursday that "more and more inconsistencies keep emerging" in Reade's account.

The statement did not address Reade's call for&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;to drop out of the race.

Reade&nbsp;told media interviewers she complained at the time about sexual harassment, though not sexual assault, to three of&nbsp;Biden's Senate aides.

A 1996 court document indicated that Reade had told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden.

The&nbsp;Biden&nbsp;campaign released a statement from one, Marianne Baker, who said she never received any report of inappropriate behavior in nearly 20 years of working for&nbsp;Biden.

Biden&nbsp;last week asked the Secretary of the Senate to make public any records containing a complaint or other documents relating to Reade's allegation, if they exist. The Senate denied the request because of confidentiality requirements.

Some prominent Democratic women including US&nbsp;House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and US&nbsp;Senator and former presidential rival Elizabeth Warren have defended&nbsp;Biden, who was President Barack Obama’s vice president.

Biden's assault accuser calls on him to quit US Presidential race

In light of the &quot;unsettling&quot; and &quot;disturbing&quot; comments from the US presidential candidate Donald Trump, the United Nations high commissioner for human rights warned that Trump would present a global danger if elected the president of the United States. &nbsp;

Rights chief Zeid Ra&#39;ad Al Hussein at a press conference in Geneva said he was &quot;not keen or intent on interfering in any political campaign&quot; but Trump&#39;s views on vulnerable communities and his talk of using torture, banned under international law, pointed to a &quot;dangerous&quot; figure emerging on the world stage.&nbsp;

Trump had called to bring back interrogation techniques that legal experts say amount to torture. Portraying a stance on national security, Trump has vowed to build a wall to stop Mexican immigrants from crossing the border.&nbsp;

&quot;We are not a political office, so we are not going to get into ... politics, but where it affects the rights of people and especially vulnerable groups, we will speak,&quot; he said, insisting: &quot;I see no reason to curb what it is that we are saying.&quot;

Zeid insisted that his office wholeheartedly &quot;supports the freedom of expression. We believe it to be not just a right, but the greatest check against tyranny&quot; he said.

&quot;However, when you fan resentment and seek as a political leader to pin blame on a specific community for deeper problems, real problems, this is highly regrettable,&quot; he said.

Last month, in a landmark speech in The Hague, Zeid accused Trump of spreading &quot;humiliating racial and religious prejudice&quot; and warned of a rise of populist politics that could turn violent. He warned that &quot;real fears were being stoked and exploited&quot; and stressed that &quot;it was within the mandate of the office to speak out where we feel that vulnerable groups are being targeted for reasons that are misplaced.&quot;

Zeid&#39;s comparison of Trump to Hungary&#39;s Prime Minister Viktor Orban, France&#39;s National Front leader Marine Le Pen and leading Brexit campaigner Nigel Farage, angered Russia.

Russia&#39;s ambassador to the UN in New York Vitaly Churkin earlier this week complained the rights chief had overstepped his authority and had no business criticising foreign heads of state and government.&nbsp;

Trump&#39;s support among the party establishment has dwindled recently&nbsp;after a 2005 video surfaced showing him making lewd remarks about women.&nbsp;
