Two Plead Guilty To Stealing Ashley Biden’s Diary To Conservative Outlet Project Veritas

Florida residents Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander both pleaded guilty in Manhattan federal court to conspiracy charges, after they reportedly stole the diary of Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley Biden and sold them to Project Veritas, which never published the material.

Project Veritas confirmed to the court that it paid for the rights to the diary, for $40,000 according to U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, Damian Wiliams. Veritas founder James O’Keefe said the documents were innocently found at Ashley Biden’s home in Florida, and that they eventually turned them over to the police.

The prosecution still suspects greater involvement on Project Veritas’ part, suggesting that they may have directed Kurlander and Harris to steal necessary materials to authenticate Ashley’s diary after the initial theft.

This occurred in late 2020 and may have been part of a failed attempt to discredit Biden towards the end of the presidential election.

The FBI also initiated a probe into the conservative video outlet, which O’Keefe decried as an attack on the rights of a media organization.

There have not been any charges against O’Keefe or Project Veritas yet.

According to court documents filed Thursday, Harris found the diary after moving into Biden’s house, and texted Kurlander that they could “make a S––T TON of money,” off it.

Text records included in the prosecution’s records indicate they attempted to send the diary to the Donald Trump campaign, but it was allegedly rejected with an unnamed staffer suggesting they send it to the FBI.

Harris and Kurlander’s guilty pleas are part of a plea bargain agreement established with investigators.

They’ll be required to forfeit the $40,000 payment, and both face sentences of up to five years for the felony conspiracy charges.
