Vladimir Putin Grants Russian Citizenship to Former Biden AdviserRussian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree granting citizenship to Tara Reade, a former staffer and adviser to then-Senator and later US President Joe Biden. The decree was published on the official Russian legal information portal. Facing backlash and fearing for her safety after going public, Reade relocated to Russia in 2023. In Russia, Reade has been active as a contributor to Russia Today (RT), a state-funded international television network. Additionally, she has expressed interest in returning to the United States to press charges against Biden.
