Aimee Harris, a Florida woman, was sentenced to a month in prison and three months of home confinement for stealing and selling Joe Biden's daughter's diary to the conservative group Project Veritas. The judge, Laura Taylor Swain, called Harris's actions “despicable” and noted that she had first tried to sell Ashley Biden's belongings to then-President Donald Trump's 2020 campaign. Harris pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in August 2022, admitting to receiving $20,000 of the $40,000 paid by Project Veritas for the diary. Harris tearfully apologized in court, stating that she regrets making Ashley Biden's private writings public and acknowledging her traumatic past as a survivor of domestic abuse and sexual trauma. The prosecutor urged a prison sentence, emphasizing Harris's greed and disrespect for the law. Harris was ordered to report to prison in July and was also sentenced to three years of probation and ordered to pay back the money she earned from the sale. The lawyer for Ashley Biden declined to comment, but had submitted a letter to the judge on behalf of his client. This case reflects the seriousness of efforts to deter interference in elections, including former President Trump's pending federal trial on charges related to the 2020 election.
