A right-wing group specializing in hidden-camera investigations will not be able to use the First Amendment to stop the federal government from accessing documents and communications related to the group’s apparent acquisition of a stolen diary belonging to President Joe Biden’s daughter.

As Law&Crime previously reported, the FBI executed a search warrant in 2021 at the property of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, as well as from Project Veritas staffers Spencer Meads and Eric Cochran. The search warrants were granted in connection with the theft and sale of the personal journal belonging to Ashley Biden, the president’s daughter. Two people, Aimee Harris and Robert Kurlander, pleaded guilty in August 2022 to conspiring to commit interstate transportation of stolen property, admitting that they stole personal property — including Ashley Biden’s diary — and sold it to Project Veritas for a total of $40,000.
