The raid was reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2021\/11\/13\/raid-veritas-okeefe-biden-press-521307\">motivated<\/a> by O\u2019Keefe\u2019s possession of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, President Biden\u2019s daughter.<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/img.theepochtimes.com\/assets\/uploads\/2018\/11\/07\/project-veritas-james-okeefe--1200x675.jpg\"><\/a> James O\u2019Keefe, founder of Project Veritas Action.
