Thursday's revelation comes on the heels of two Florida individuals pleading guilty to transporting stolen property across state lines and also selling Ashley Biden's diary to Project Veritas, an organization run by conservative journalist James O'Keefe.
Before offering Ashley Biden's diary to Project Veritas, Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander attended a Trump campaign event on September 6, 2020, "with the intent of showing the Victim's stolen property to a campaign representative ... hoping that the political campaign would purchase it," federal prosecutors wrote.

Nevertheless, according to court filings, the Trump campaign nixed the offer and later advised Harris and Kurlander to hand over the diary to the FBI.
The Trump campaign "can't use it," Kurlander texted Harris, presumably regarding the diary. "They want it to go to the FBI. There is NO WAY [Trump] can use this. It has to be done a different way."

Project Veritas bought the Biden diary for a $40,000, but never published the contents.
As such, the group has consistently denied any wrongdoing, even after an FBI raid on O'Keefe's home.

National File eventually published the contents of Ashley Biden's diary.
Harris' lawyer, Sam Talkin, said Harris "has accepted responsibility for her conduct and looks forward to moving on with her life."
Harris, 40, and Kurlander, 58, could get up to five years in prison based on their guilty pleas.

It's still uncertain how Harris and Kurlander first seized control of Ashley Biden's diary.
The president's daughter was reportedly moving out of a friend's home in Delray Beach, Floria — around the spring of 2020 — where she had stored tax records, a digital device with family photos, a cellphone, and the diary, according to prosecutors in the court filing.

Those details add new context to efforts by Harris and Kurlander to cash in on the highly sensitive stolen information by weaponizing it politically.
While Project Veritas purchased the diary, it did not publish it, and the group has denied any wrongdoing amid an investigation involving a raid on O'Keefe's home.

The diary was eventually published by the right-wing news outlet the National File.
Justice Department officials have declined to comment on whether they treated Project Veritas as a media outlet and granted it protections that sharply limit investigations into news organizations. The conservative group, known for its video exposés, said it obtained records indicating the FBI considered it part of the media at the outset of the investigation.
