Overview

  • A presidential decree published Sept. 22 listed “McCabe Alexandra Tara, born Feb. 26, 1964,” as newly naturalized, matching Tara Reade’s legal name.
  • Reade announced her new status on X, thanking Vladimir Putin as well as RT editor-in-chief Margarita Simonyan and lawmaker Maria Butina for their support.
  • The former Biden Senate staffer relocated to Russia in 2023, sought asylum and citizenship, and now works for the state-backed outlet RT.
  • Russian law typically requires five years of legal residence, but recent measures allow expedited naturalization on moral grounds and for foreign military recruits.
  • Reade’s 1993 sexual assault allegation against Joe Biden was denied by him and did not result in charges, and reporting noted an absence of the complaint she said she filed.
