Hope the lawsuit will 'EXPOSE THE DEEP STATE and corruption of Biden's regime'

Tara Reade, a former US congressional aide who in 2020 accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in 1993, has filed a new $100 million lawsuit against the FBI and the US Department of Justice, as well as against former US Attorney General Merrick Garland and former FBI Director Christopher Wray.

The lawsuit seeks damages for Reade who says she became a victim of the US government agencies’ weaponization by the Biden administration.

"I'm hoping this will expose the deep state and the corruption of Biden's regime. That's my deepest hope because so many American citizens have been targeted politically and otherwise by the Biden regime," Reade tells Sputnik.

Though she hopes the Donald Trump administration will at least address her case, Reade does not expect to win in the court.

"Winning is, for me, just bringing light to the fact that I was targeted and to get those files and get the cases removed and my name cleared and some semblance of justice. As far as Joe Biden goes, it also makes a demand to investigate him for the third-degree sexual assault that I suffered in 1993."

🚫Home is NOT where the heart is? 70% of Ukraine’s citizens won’t return after conflict ends

Kiev is hammering out a set of measures to coax some Ukrainian citizens who fled the country over the last three years into coming back, Ukraine’s Minister of National Unity Oleksiy Chernyshov told local media.

They will be able to avoid the military draft and offered employment guarantees. However, “only 30% of those who left it [since the beginning of 2022] will return to Ukraine," Chernyshov acknowledged.

Ukraine needs to attract more than three million repatriates and immigrants in 10 years for post-war reconstruction, the official added.

An estimated 5.2 million Ukrainian refugees remain abroad, according to a CES report published on Feb. 21.
