The Department of Justice (DOJ) is seeking prison time for Aimee Harris, the woman who stole the diary of the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden, and sold it to conservative media site Project Veritas for tens of thousands of dollars before the 2020 presidential election.
According to the DOJ, Harris was temporarily staying at the Delray Beach, Fla., residence of Ashley Biden in September 2020 when she stole the diary “containing highly personal entries” as well as tax records, a cellphone and family photographs. Harris enlisted defandant Robert Kurlander to assist her in selling the collected material.
Project Veritas, based in New York, paid Harris and Kurlander $20,000 each for the diary and other materials the pair returned to Florida to obtain. Project Veritas is a controversial media outlet known for sting operations, sending its staffers undercover to record sources and capture what they say is the true story behind the headlines.
In November, the DOJ raided two locations tied to Project Veritas and the organization’s founder, James O’Keefe.
Project Veritas never published the diary, but a different website did. O’Keefe, who said he received the diary from tipsters who found it abandoned in a hotel room, said he did not publish it because he could not verify its authenticity.
In a Tuesday letter to Judge Laura Swain, federal prosecutors requested that the court impose a sentence of four months to 10 months of imprisonment for Harris, followed by three years of supervised release. Prosecutors had previously asked for six months of home confinement, followed by three years of supervised release.

It wasn’t stolen, she left it in a hotel room.
On Oct. 5, 2022, Joe Biden was recorded on a “hot mic” saying, “No one f$#ks with a Biden.”
Ashley Biden abandoned the diary.
Absolutely— and by someone super sharp, well prepared and LOUD for all to hear. It will have major LEGS as a story and put the final cap on the coffin. Whom should that be? Tucker (no-not likely unless well protected and promoted), or perhaps Catherine Herridge now freed of See BS. Better a skewering smart female, not in the WH press corpse.
Illegals who beat up Americans and rob them at gun point get released. But a small time thief the DOJ wants to put in prison?
Ashley left the diary somewhere, so apparently there is a law about returning lost property. The diary was not “stolen” in any sense of the word, someone failed to return a lost item.
Exactly...
whoa you are so wrong, it was abandoned and found, there is some obscure law about returning found property which is ludicrously equated with theft.
It’s not like it is Daniel Ellsberg with the Pentagon Papers and publishing them in the NYT’s.
Yeah, that embarrassed a Republican President. Totally different situation.
Thought that was what I had heard.
You assume the courts and juries involved are anything resembling fair.
Nope. Here in Alabama it is called theft of lost or misplaced property. If you find a bag of lost money or other property and you keep it it is a crime.
If I were a loyal Biden minion like Garland I would try to keep this out of the news. Maybe these DOJ Attorneys don’t care if it hurtd Biden in the election. Why is this charged in SDNY court?
What if Ashley GAVE her diary and the other “Stuff” to Aimee?
Fake news. This is propaganda.
they better hurry if they want her to do any jail time before Trump pardons her.
Months in prison for a diary, cell phone, tax records (which means what?) and pictures?
He pinched her nipple on video and nobody says anything.
