FACT CHECK: Did The New York Times Say Tara Reade’s Accusation Against Biden ‘Was Not Credible’?

Democrat Stacey Abrams claimed during a CNN interview on Tuesday night that The New York Times conducted an investigation into Tara Reade, the former Biden staffer who has accused the Democratic presidential candidate of sexual assaulting her in 1993, and concluded that the accusation was not credible.

“The New York Times did a deep investigation and they found that the accusation was not credible,” Abrams claimed. “I believe Joe Biden. … I know Joe Biden, and I think he’s telling the truth and this did not happen.”
