The Department of Justice this week asked a judge to impose a four-to-ten month prison sentence for Aimee Harris, who stole the diary of first daughter Ashley Biden and ultimately sold it Project Veritas.

Harris pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property, The Hill reported. Her sentencing was originally slated for December of 2022, but has been delayed 12 times already.

The DOJ on Tuesday asked Judge Laura Swain to impose the sentence, along with three years of supervised release. The DOJ previously sought only six months of home confinement and the three-year supervised release period.

Harris entered her plea in August of 2022, along with Robert Kurtlander, whom she enlisted to aid in selling the diary. The pair ultimately sold it to Project Veritas for $20,000 each, though the outlet did not publish its contents.

She originally obtained the diary while staying at Biden's Florida residence in 2020. Court filings from the Southern District of New York indicated that they had previously sought to sell the diary to the campaign of former President Donald Trump, though they refused and urged the pair to give it to the FBI.
