The woman, Aimee Harris, along with her accomplice, Johnathan Kurlander, admitted to a single count of conspiracy in August 2022. Kurlander's sentencing is scheduled for April 12.
As reported by CNBC, Chief United States District Judge for the Southern District of New York, Laura Taylor Swain, also mandated that Harris serve three years of probation and pay a fine of $20,000, which was her share of the payment received from Project Veritas.
James O'Keefe, the deposed founder of Project Veritas, stated, "We had never met or heard of the tipsters. The tipsters indicated the diary had been abandoned in a room in which Ms. Biden stayed at the time, and in which the tipsters stayed in temporarily, after Miss Biden departed the room. The tipsters indicated that the diary included explosive allegations against then candidate Joe Biden." O'Keefe and his team of investigative journalists never verified or published any of the diary's contents.

Last week, the Department of Justice sent a letter to Judge Swain, advocating for a prison sentence of four to ten months followed by three years of supervised release for Harris. The Department accused Harris of "repeatedly and consistently engaged in tactics to improperly delay this proceeding, including by misleading the Court with false information to justify belated and unmerited requests for adjournments, refusing to appear when directed, and failing to comply with court orders to disclose or produce certain information."
