Ashley Bidens Diary - Veritas
What you're about to hear has never been released to the public. This voicemail was left on the Project Veritas tip line on September 3, 2020, which led our journalists to investigate the matter of Ashley Biden's diary, thrusting us into a pivotal moment of history for all of press freedom. Hi there, I'm calling from Florida. My family, their friend who owns a house down here in Palm Beach, was renting it out. I don't know how, but this is a while back.
But anyway, somebody, a new renter moved in and Ashley Biden was staying in this room and they found her diary, all of her clothes, luggage, pills. Anyway, diary is pretty crazy. I think it's worth taking a look at. It's not a joke, it's real. And I'd love to get it into your hands.
After years of public speculation and internal deliberation, we are finally releasing our conversation with Ashley Biden about her diary and other possessions. They were abandoned and later offered to Project Veritas. Hi. Is this Ashley Biden? This is she.
How are you? I'm doing wanted. So I heard you have a few of my belongings and so I was going to ask if you could please meet my friend Eric, who is down in Delray. If you could meet him and get this up to him. There's a diary here.
It starts in January. It says January at the end of a New York month. I'm sitting on a bed at the eye building. Yeah, so if you could just give everything that you have to Eric, that would be really great. I don't want to give this to the wrong person.
I mean, I want to make sure at this point and I don't want to have to get secret service involved in this, right. Because it's a whole process. But I am Ashley Biden. It is my stuff. So if you could just give all of that over, I would really appreciate it.
I know you sent a picture to my husband with a camera and a few other things that are mine as well. So that would be really great. Where is a good place for him to meet you? There's also this bag with luggage tags on it because there's all this stuff. Is that bag yours too, Ashley?
Yes, it is. Shortly after the phone call, this October 16 letter was sent from Project Veritas to Joe Biden's presidential campaign, asking the candidate for comment. October 23, a follow up email from our then chief legal officer. And on October 29, 2020, ashley Biden's attorney Roberta Kaplan finally responded, saying, quote, this is insane. We should send to the SDNY.
This is the FBI splash page showing the SDNY immediately open an investigation into Project Veritas. On the very same day and on November 8, 2020, project Veritas returns all Ashley Biden's abandoned items, including her diary, to Florida local law enforcement.
Stop.
You're watching Predon raids by the FBI on three Project Veritas journalists they took place on November 4 and November 6 of 2021. I'm sorry. So what is this regarding? Open up.
No. Just once again, for our safety. For yours. We're going to have an agent with you? Yes.
You do not not being the team for safety. Yeah.
Are you comfortable with that? Yeah, that's fine.
So there was another team coming up. Until I hear you. Incidentally. New York Times national security reporter Mike Schmidt contacts Project Veritas journalist immediately following the raids A new wrinkle today in the investigation into the apparent theft of the President's daughter Ashley Biden's diary. The New York Times reporting the FBI Saturday searched the home of James O'Keefe.
47 electronic devices, including our reporters cell phones, laptops and thumb drives were seized. To be clear, no one was arrested and no one was charged with any crime.
Project Veritas obtained documents showing the SDNY was spying on our journalists well before the FBI raids on our homes in November 2021. Using secret subpoenas, the SDNY was reading our email and deliberately hid that fact from a judge who barred the government from viewing Veritas's documents. After turning over our communications to the FBI, which included content from personal email accounts of Project Veritas employees, microsoft, Google and Apple finally notified us in spring of 2022 when their gag orders were lifted. Nearly two years after these raids, the legal battle for Project Veritas to defend First Amendment rights rages on. To date, we have spent millions of dollars defending these former Project Veritas journalists.
We continue to provide representation to all of them. This fight is to protect all journalists from government overreach. If the Department of justice continues to go unchecked, then our reality of unconstitutional raids, intimidation and secret subpoenas will cripple any journalist daring to engage in actual journalism. Among the evidence we found of the DOJ trampling on our rights as journalists include politically motivated spying into journalist news gathering activities, disparate treatment of the press by the Trump DOJ and the Biden DOJ, evidence that the DOJ plays favorites with press entities, including The New York Times. Under the Biden DOJ, project Veritas received no warnings about the secret subpoenas and search warrants of journalists'devices, both personal and professional.
Meanwhile, in a similar case, the DOJ allowed Google to alert The New York Times they were coming for email accounts of four Times reporters. This allowed the attorneys for the Times to fight the demands for journalist emails. Eventually, the DOJ dropped their demands. Just last month, we learned that the Biden Justice Department targeted Project Veritas, a news organization specializing in undercover journalism. Project Veritas was subjected to an extensive investigation by the FBI, including having its email seized on Microsoft servers.
We should all support this legislation and important protections it provides for journalists. There's a reason why the founders chose to enshrine freedom of the press in the First Amendment to the Constitution. This bill, referenced by Congressman Jim Jordan, HR 43 30, is known as the Press Act. It protects reporters First Amendment rights. Liberty depends on freedom of the press.
Whether it's Tucker Carlson, James O'Keefe, Glenn Greenwald, Cheryl Atkinson or Bob Woodward. Good reporters are those who are committed to holding the government accountable. It passed the House on September 19, 2022, and is currently before the Senate. That brings us to today. What began as a voicemail left on the Project Veritas tip line has led to this pivotal moment in American history.
We're not only up against the power of the federal government, but also the corporate media infrastructure that exists to support it. Project Veritas will never shy away from exposing the truth to the American public. Our job is never done. Stay tuned.
