Biden called for the National Archives to release Senate documents that could shed light on Tara Reade's allegation. The Archives say they don't have them.

Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden speaks at a campaign event Friday, Feb. 14, 2020, in Henderson, Nev.Joe Biden has emphatically denied an allegation of sexual assault by a former Senate staffer, Tara Reade, telling MSNBC on Friday that "it never happened."

But the Archives told Insider that such documents wouldn't be kept there, and it's not entirely clear where the records would be. Documents from the Senate's Office of Fair Employment Practices are governed by a Senate resolution that bars their release for 50 years.

There is only one place a complaint of this kind could be – the National Archives. The National Archives is where the records are kept at what was then called the Office of Fair Employment Practices. I am requesting that the Secretary of the Senate ask the Archives to identify any record of the complaint she alleges she filed and make available to the press any such document. If there was ever any such complaint, the record will be there.

Filing a complaint to the Office of Fair Employment practices was a complicated, multi-step process, and not all initial complaints resulted in formal inquiries. A total of 479 people contacted the office between 1992 and 1995 seeking assistance, according to congressional testimony from 1995. Only 102 entered the office's five-step "dispute resolution" process, which included a formal complaint and hearing, records showed.

The confusion around the location of Biden's relevant documents, and the elaborate process for both filing and locating any complaint Reade says she made, could complicate efforts to corroborate Reade's assertion that she had complained to superiors about her treatment in Biden's office. Michael Crespin, the director of the Carl Albert Center at the University of Oklahoma, which houses the archives of more than 60 former members of Congress, told Insider that it is normal for universities to refuse to accept personnel records with congressional archives, because they contain too much personal information. "Our collection policy restricts the collection of personnel files. We wouldn't take them," he said.

Deflection.... the records would be with his Senate records at the university of Delaware, which of course he doesn’t want to release 🥴

The complaint is in the U Delaware papers

So basically they’re buried in some senate back office somewhere. Happy fishing for this years Hillary’s emails!

😂 that’s so funny
