After Joe Biden was accused of sexually harassing a 14-year-old girl at a political dinner in 2008, the event’s organizer reportedly spoke out to say that the former vice president was never at the event in question.
The new allegation surfaced after the woman, Eva Murray, told Law & Crimethat Biden made a crude remark to her at the First State Gridiron Dinner & Show in Delaware in 2008. Murray said she attended the event with her aunt, Republican Senate candidate Christine O’Donnell, who at the time was launching what was seen as a long-shot campaign against Biden.
But subsequent reports from the event organizer claimed that Biden didn’t attend the Gridiron Dinner that year. ABC News reporter Sasha Pezenik noted that Biden had undergone sinus surgery that week, and was believed to be home recovering at the time the alleged incident took place.
An organizer of the event also told Pezenik that Biden did not attend the dinner.
