Judge Dismisses Project Veritas Claim, Paves Way for Investigation into Alleged Theft of Ashley Bidens Diary
In a significant turn of events, U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres dismissed a First Amendment claim by the conservative group Project Veritas. This ruling paves the way for over 900 documents related to the alleged theft of President Joe Bidens daughter, Ashleys diary, to be accessible to criminal prosecutors. The documents, obtained from authorized raids in November 2021, can now be handed over to investigators by January 5, 2023.
A group known for its hidden camera stings, Project Veritas has consistently targeted news outlets, labor organizations, and Democratic politicians. In the case at hand, Project Veritas sought to prevent investigators from viewing the records related to Ashley Bidens diary. However, Judge Torress decision has effectively negated this effort, permitting the examination of these documents by the prosecution.
Two individuals, Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander, have already pleaded guilty to charges associated with the diarys theft and are currently awaiting sentencing. Interestingly, Project Veritas, while heavily involved in the proceedings, was not charged with any crime. The group maintains that its actions were part of legal and ethical newsgathering.
The recent developments in this case also include the resignation of Hannah Giles, the then-chief executive of Project Veritas. Giles stepped down citing evidence of past illegality and financial improprieties within the organization. This move has added yet another layer to the unfolding narrative around Project Veritas and its operations.
