Florida Crooks Convicted Of Stealing Ashley Biden’s Diary And Selling It To Right-Wing Conman
Standard behavior for anyone from Florida. The only thing that’s surprising about this story is that the Trump campaign declined to buy the diary. Via NBC:
Two Florida residents pleaded guilty Thursday to federal charges of scheming to sell the stolen diary of President Joe Biden’s daughter Ashley Biden, according to prosecutors and law enforcement officials.
Aimee Harris, 40, and Jonathan Kurlander, 58, admitted to stealing the diary from a home in Delray Beach, and then selling it to the conservative media company Project Veritas for $40,000, prosecutors and law enforcement officials said.
Harris was temporarily residing at the home where she discovered the handwritten diary and other items belonging to Ashley Biden, including tax records and a cellphone, prosecutors said.
The pair attempted to give the stolen materials to the Trump campaign, but the campaign said it would not purchase the material and advised the pair to provide the items to the FBI, the documents say.
On Sept. 10, 2020, Harris and Kurlander contacted Project Veritas and engaged in discussions to sell the material. They ultimately did so for $40,000 and then attempted to take more at Project Veritas’ direction, according to prosecutors.
