Veritas didn\u2019t publish the diary and instead turned it over to authorities.<\/p>\n<p>Harris\u2019 sentencing has been delayed for years, and now the U.S. Attorney\u2019s Office for the Southern District of New York is asking for four to 10 months in prison, the New York Post <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/04\/03\/us-news\/doj-demands-prison-time-for-ashley-biden-diary-thief\/?utm_source=twitter&#038;utm_medium=social&#038;utm_campaign=nypost\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>. The DOJ had previously requested six months of home confinement followed by three years of probation.<\/p>\n<p>Harris has sought to move her sentencing date 12 times, prosecutors have said, which led them to request a harsher sentence.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defendant\u2019s sentence must also account for the manner in which she has abused the administration of justice throughout the pendency of this court proceeding,\u201d U.S. Attorney Damian Williams said in <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.nysd.585345\/gov.uscourts.nysd.585345.99.0.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a recent filing<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe defendant has repeatedly and consistently engaged in tactics to improperly delay this proceeding, including by misleading the Court with false information to justify belated and unmerited requests for adjournments, refusing to appear when directed, and failing to comply with court orders to disclose or produce certain information,\u201d Williams added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThrough this pattern of behavior, the defendant has shown a complete disregard for the Court\u2019s orders and for the orderly administration of this judicial proceeding,\u201d Williams wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Harris found the diary while temporarily living at a home in Delray, Florida, where then-candidate Joe Biden\u2019s daughter Ashley previously lived. Ashley left the diary, tax records, a digital storage drive containing family photos, a cell phone, and more on the property, with plans to return to pick up those items.<\/p>\n<p>Harris took the diary and recruited Robert Kurlander to help her sell it to Project Veritas. While Project Veritas never published the diary, sections of it did later leak online. Project Veritas employees had their homes raided due to the diary, which attorneys for the American Civil Liberties Union and other First Amendment proponents argued <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/aclu-lawyers-pen-letter-in-defense-of-first-amendment-over-project-veritas-ashley-biden-diary-case\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was unconstitutional<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1712245447014000&#038;usg=AOvVaw259gdy9LGyeAJghxwMwQqU\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/b><\/p>\n<p>Williams argued in his most recent sentencing request that a \u201csentence involving no period of incarceration would be wholly insufficient to reflect the gravity of the defendant\u2019s conduct, including her apparent belief that she is above the law and that she need not comply with this Court\u2019s orders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Williams also said that if Harris doesn\u2019t appear for her sentencing on April 9, he would seek to add an obstruction of justice charge to her indictment.<\/p>\n<p>Kurlander, who also pleaded guilty, will be sentenced on April 12.<\/p>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Department of Justice is pushing for prison time for Aimee Harris, 42, who admitted to selling Ashley Biden&#8217;s diary to Project Veritas for $40,000 but didn&#8217;t publish it before the 2020 election.
