The Department of Justice is seeking four to 10 months of prison time for the woman who stole the diary of President Joe Biden's daughter, Ashley Biden, and sold it to a conservative news site for thousands.
Aimee Harris stole the diary while staying at Ashley Biden's Delray Beach, Florida, residence in 2020. She later asked Robert Kurlander to help her sell the stolen material.
The pair later sold it to Project Veritas, a conservative news outlet, for $20,000 each, according to the Department of Justice (DOJ). Both pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property in August 2022, a crime that carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
However, the DOJ originally only sought six months of home confinement for Harris.
But now, federal prosecutors want to see prison time on the table, and recommended four to 10 months would be an appropriate sentence in a letter sent to a New York federal court Tuesday.
