Stevenson and Jill worked on Joe Biden’s first campaign for Senate in 1972 when they both grew close to him, Stevenson has claimed.
That same year Joe Biden’s first wife, Neilia, and their infant daughter were tragically killed in a car crash.
Stevenson said he started suspecting Joe and Jill were having an affair in 1974.
Joe and Jill claimed they first met after they were set up on a date in 1975 after Joe became a widower and Jill split with Stevenson.
