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,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 forBidento drop out of the race.
Readetold media interviewers she complained at the time about sexual harassment, though not sexual assault, to three ofBiden's Senate aides.
A 1996 court document indicated that Reade had told her ex-husband she was sexually harassed while working for Joe Biden.
TheBidencampaign released a statement from one, Marianne Baker, who said she never received any report of inappropriate behavior in nearly 20 years of working forBiden.
Bidenlast 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 USHouse of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and USSenator and former presidential rival Elizabeth Warren have defendedBiden, who was President Barack Obama’s vice president.
