It has been noted that a Florida woman was sentenced Tuesday to a month in prison and three months of home confinement after stealing and selling President Joe Biden’s daughter’s diary four years ago to the conservative group Project Veritas via AP News.
It has come to light that Aimee Harris was sentenced in Manhattan federal court by Judge Laura Taylor Swain, who called the Palm Beach, Florida, woman’s actions “despicable.”
Harris had pleaded guilty to a conspiracy charge in August 2022 and admitted that she received $20,000 of the $40,000 that was paid by Project Veritas for personal items belonging to the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden.
Project Veritas which was founded in 2010, identifies itself as a news organization. It is best known for conducting hidden camera stings that have embarrassed news outlets, labor organizations and Democratic politicians.
A tearful Harris went on to apologize for enabling Ashley Biden’s private writings to be sold when she found the diary and other items at a friend’s Delray Beach, Florida, home in 2020, where prosecutors said Ashley Biden believed her items were safely stored after she temporarily stayed there in spring 2020.
“I do not believe I am above the law,” Harris said after a prosecutor urged a prison sentence following her failure to appear at numerous sentencing dates on the grounds that she was consumed with caring for her two children, ages 8 and 6.
“I’m a survivor of long term domestic abuse and sexual trauma,” she told the judge.
