The conviction came after a jury found her guilty of conspiracy to transport stolen property from one state to another. The woman sold Ashley Biden’s personal writings, found at a friend’s home in Delray Beach, Florida, in 2020. Prosecutors said Joe Biden’s daughter thought her belongings were safe there after staying there temporarily before the theft.

When Harris found Ashley Biden’s belongings, including her diary, she took them. Harris and Robert Kurlander, her co-defendant in the case, initially tried to approach Donald Trump’s former campaign to sell the documents, but were referred to the FBI. The stolen goods were eventually sold for $40,000 to Project Veritas, a conservative news site.

The judge in the case described the criminal acts of Aimee Harris and her accomplice as despicable.

The theft of Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden’s laptop also sparked controversy after it was reported in 2019. The laptop contained sensitive information about his business activities and personal life. The circumstances of the theft remain unclear, but it attracted attention during the 2020 US presidential campaign, and continues to do so today.

Fans and critics alike got their first look at Lady Gaga and Joaquin Phoenix in this fall’s highly anticipated film, Joker: Folie à Deux, the much-anticipated sequel to the 2019 Joker movie.

Joaquin Phoenix reprises his role as Arthur Fleck, while Lady Gaga makes her debut as Harley Quinn, offering a fresh perspective on both the Joker and her story.

The teaser trailer unveiled by Warner Bros. in Las Vegas focuses mainly on Arthur Fleck’s descent into madness, but he’s no longer alone!

Joker: Folie à Deux may not be a musical after all, but the music will play a crucial role. It will underscore the potentially tragic and complex dynamic between the Joker and Harley Quinn, with a romance that is certainly strange, but also fascinating.

We imagine that Lady Gaga’s musical talents will also be put to good use.

Fans can’t wait to see how the next chapter in the Joker saga, and the performances of Phoenix and Gaga, will perhaps change their perception of these characters.

The descent into madness is better with two, isn’t it?

The film Joker: Folie à Deux will be available in cinemas from October 4.
