What to make of Tara Reade

The Intercept's D.C. Bureau Chief Ryan Grim joins Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery." Grim was one of the first reporters to shine a light on the allegations of sexual assault against Joe Biden brought forth by Tara Reade. The group discuss the credibility of said allegations, the duties of the media and how it should cover a story like this, and the similarities and differences to cases that have come before this one, most recently the Brett Kavanaugh hearings.
