The woman who admitted to stealing the diary of President Joe Biden’s daughter and selling it to Project Veritas weeks before the 2020 presidential election was sentenced Tuesday to one month in prison followed by three years of supervised release.
Aimee Harris, 41, was also ordered to forfeit the $20,000 she received in payment from the right-wing group by Judge Laura Taylor Swain, who called Harris’ actions “despicable,” according to the Associated Press. In handing down her sentence, Swain noted that Harris had first tried—and failed—to sell Biden’s possessions to Donald Trump’s 2020 campaign team.
Her aim was simple, as a prosecutor put it on Tuesday: “She wanted to damage Ms. Biden’s father.”
