"Shortly after that," D'Souza said, "boom" - there were two arrests and indictments.Ĭharmaine Turner prepares to enter a viewing her for 8-year-old daughter Secoriea Turner, who was fatally shot in Atlanta on July 4 in 2020. In an episode of his podcast promoting the film, D'Souza said Phillips and Engelbrecht provided their analysis to the FBI, which turned the data over to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI). "Now, I read they've arrested two suspects," D'Souza responds to Phillips. Phillips says he and his team obtained device data from the area of the shooting, which showed "only a handful of unique devices that could have pulled the trigger.each of these devices has a unique device ID, and we turned the bulk of this information over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation." The film then describes just one case: the killing of Secoriea Turner on Jin Atlanta. "We chose to look at two murders that were ebbing on cold case status," Engelbrecht says in one scene of the film.
The film suggests that True The Vote's analysis is so reliable that it helped investigate homicides. Misleading claims about a murder investigation Breitbart reported that Trump called on the crowd to "do something" about the problems allegedly exposed in the film. "We investigated, and the five ballots that he turned in were all for himself and his family members," said Raffensperger.ĭespite the criticisms, Trump has embraced "2,000 Mules." The former president even hosted a premiere event for the film at his Mar-a-Lago resort, featuring Republican politicians such as Rep. Raffensberger said they found no wrongdoing. Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensberger, a Republican, said his office had already examined one instance flagged by True The Vote, in which a man delivered multiple ballots to a dropbox. So the film primarily relies on their claims about geotracking data, which D'Souza has argued are "more reliable than video footage." But, as D'Souza himself has acknowledged, the film does not show any person on camera going to multiple dropboxes. The film also features video surveillance footage of some ballot dropboxes. In response to NPR's inquiries, True The Vote acknowledged it had contacted law enforcement more than two months later, meaning it played no role in those arrests or indictments. I mean, they are heroes." Fans of the film have echoed that message on social media.Īuthorities in Georgia arrested and secured indictments against two suspects in the murder of Secoriea Turner in August 2021. Trump's official spokesperson, Liz Harrington, said True The Vote "solved a murder of a young little girl in Atlanta. Former president Donald Trump has embraced the film, which has gained popularity on the political right, along with the claim about the murder case. The claims appear in a new pro-Trump film called "2,000 Mules," which purports to have "smoking gun" evidence of massive voter fraud in the 2020 election in the form of digital device location tracking data. Fact checkers have cast doubt on many of the film's claims.Ī conservative "election integrity" group called True The Vote has made multiple misleading or false claims about its work, NPR has found, including the suggestion that they helped solve the murder of an eight-year-old girl in Atlanta. Dinesh D'Souza, seen here at a premiere of one of his films in 2018, has released a new film alleging voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election.
