Tara Reade Sues DOJ for $10 Million, Alleges FBI Operation Against Her
Lawsuit Claims Violation of Reade's Constitutional Rights, DOJ Has Six Months to Respond
- Tara Reade, who accused President Joe Biden of sexual assault in 1993, has filed a lawsuit against the Department of Justice seeking $10 million in damages for invasion of privacy, emotional distress, and violation of state and federal constitutional rights.
- The lawsuit alleges that the FBI conducted an operation against Reade, named 'Operation Cassandra', with the aim to discredit and eliminate her as a threat to President Biden.
- The operation allegedly involved violations of Reade's Fourth Amendment rights, violations of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), and state privacy laws.
- Reade's attorney, Jonathan Levy, has stated that the DOJ has six months to respond to the lawsuit and that they will continue demanding her records and may have to initiate a formal Freedom of Privacy Act request.
- Reade and Levy are in the process of starting their own international commission called Justice for All, described as a broader umbrella group operating outside the U.S. to work on behalf of whistleblower rights for others in similar situations.
