Tara Reade, the woman who has accused Joe Biden of sexually assaulting her in the 1990s, told Megyn Kelly in her first on-camera interview since Biden publicly denied her claim that she wishes he would drop out of the race.

"I wish he would (withdraw from the race)," Reade said. "But he won't. But I wish he would. That's how I feel emotionally."

Reade has also secured the services of a law firm that has represented women who accused movie mogul Harvey Weinstein of sexual assault.

Reade sat down Thursday with Kelly, the former Fox News host, for an interview produced by Rich McHugh, who was Ronan Farrow's producer at NBC News during his investigation into the assault claims that toppled Weinstein. Before leaving Fox News, Kelly was among a half dozen other women who accused founder and former CEO Roger Ailes of sexual harassment.

"(Reade) gets very candid, very emotional, and handles many direct challenges to her account. She also has a message directly for the former vice president," Kelly told The Hill ahead of the interview's release.

In a preview of the interview released on Twitter Thursday afternoon, Reade said she wishes the former vice president would drop out of the race but said it was "a little late" for an apology from him.

Reade told Kelly that she has had "really horrible things" said about her by Biden supporters on the Internet, and received a death threat over accusations she was a Russian agent due to old writing praising Vladimir Putin. Reade told the New York Times those writings were taken out of context.
