Biden Accuser Turned Down By Me-Too Women’s Organization

A former staff member of Joe Biden who says he acted inappropriately toward her was turned away by a legal defense fund that spends millions of dollars supporting sexual harassment lawsuits by women.

A staff member of the organization, Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund, first encouraged the Biden accuser but then in February told her the organization can’t help her because Biden is running for president and taking him on in court might jeopardize the organization’s nonprofit status, according to a story published by The Intercept on Tuesday, March 24.

A tax law expert told The Intercept the explanation doesn’t make sense, because as long as the organization uses the same “long-established neutral criteria” it uses toward other targets in a manner “completely independent of their running for office,” the organization would not be violating tax law governing nonprofit groups.
