Aimee Harris, who pleaded guilty to selling Ashley Biden's diary, failed to appear for her sentencing, initially scheduled and then rescheduled due to her lack of communication with her appointed lawyer. The lawyer cited childcare and other related issues as reasons for Harris's inability to attend in person, requesting a video appearance at "2:30 pm Eastern" instead. This request was contested by the prosecutor, noting that Harris's ex-husband was prepared to care for their children, suggesting her presence at the sentencing should be mandatory. Despite these developments, Harris did not appear at the courthouse, leading to the sentencing being reset for April 9. A federal judge has indicated that Harris could face arrest as soon as "March 29" for failing to appear.
