The Department of Justice is investigating journalists at Project Veritas for acquiring Ashley Biden's diary, which reportedly contained "creepy" details about her father, Joe Biden. The existence and possession of that diary have become a matter of prosecutorial inquiry, encouraging the DOJ to go after Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe and others who came in contact with the document.
In November, The Post Millennial reported that the FBI raided two houses associated with Project Veritas.

"This is a country in which the FBI is acting as Joe Biden's personal family police department," commented Fox News host Tucker Carlson in a segment on the measures being taken by the DOJ.
"This federal investigation smacks of politics. Project Veritas never threatened or engaged in any illegal conduct. Should the Southern District of New York try to take away our First Amendment rights to uncover and publish newsworthy stories without government intimidation, be assured Project Veritas will not back down," announced O'Keefe in a statement.

Civil rights attorney Harmeet Dhillon, the founder, and CEO of the Center for American Liberty, followed Carlson to address the issue.
"This is an absolutely breath-taking situation where the United States Department of Justice supposedly because of this diary," announced Dhillon.

"But I'll tell you why – I don't think it's really about the diary – has ignored the First Amendment, which protects the rights of journalists and the press and of course donors and is also ignoring a federal statute – the Privacy Protection Act that protects journalists and confidentiality and is also ignoring DOJ guidelines passed as recently as this summer by the current Attorney General Merrick Garland all of which are designed to protect journalists from exactly this type of raid."

"So how are they getting around that? They're claiming that Project Veritas, in court filings, are not in fact journalists, and that's one of their reasons," Dhillon went on. "But this diary was published not by my clients Project Veritas but by some other outfit over a year ago. The DOJ well knew that our client didn't have the diary. What were they really after?"

"I think they were really after Project Veritas' telephones, with contacts of lawyers and legal communications, contacts of many, many sources in the Biden administration, which is riddled with corruption as you've pointed out, and contacts of conservative donors who they'd like to harass, and they have the playbook from the Obama years," she stated. "That's what this is about."
