The office of Mark Brnovich, the Republican Arizona Attorney General, reached out this past Friday to federal officials in order to kick off an investigation into the nonprofit group responsible for the 2020 Presidential Election documentary “2,000 Mules,” that claims the existence of overtly widespread voter fraud had taken place in many key swing states, especially Arizona.
Chief Special Agent Reginald “Reggie” Grigsby, based out of Bronvich’s office, called out the allegations via a letter that hurled accusations at the founder of Texas-based nonprofit organization focused on the electoral process True the Vote (TTV), Catherine Engelbrecht, along with its contractor Gregg Phillips of outright failing to issue evidence regarding voter fraud, before going further to claim that the group allegedly made use of the claim to rake in “considerable sums of money.” Both Engelbrecht and Phillips were brought in to appear in the movie “2000 Mules” by filmmaker Dinesh D’Souza.
“TTV has raised considerable sums of money alleging they had evidence of widespread voter fraud, and their efforts would train the public to protect election integrity at the polls and to help protect all voters’ rights,” expressed Grigsby. “They indicate they have provided the information to law enforcement agencies; in our case, they have not after promising to do so.”
Roughly six months in the wake of former President Donald Trump leaving office, Reginald claimed that authorities within the state kicked off meetings with Engelbrecht and Phillips on three separate instances claiming that they paid one private vendor over $2 million for fingerprint/phone identifier and geolocation data utilized for marketing reasons.
The founder of the non-profit and contractor allegedly explained to the assembled special investigators that they would provide proof of their alleged evidence. However, despite multiple requests and a public announcement that TTV handed over the materials to Arizona officials, Grigsby claimed that the group “never did provide the information it purported to have in its possession.”
“Information has not been provided as to the specific location, whether or not there is in fact a drop box at that location, nor is there any information on the person(s) who may be in possession of the mobile device,” stated Grigsby. “TTV did not provide any video evidence to support claims of ballot box stuffing,” going further to state that the group has been adamant that it has the evidence regarding ballot stuffing and voting fraud.
“Given TTV’s status as a nonprofit organization, it would appear that further review of its financials may be warranted,” Grigsby stated as he requested the Federal Bureau of Investigations and Internal Revenue Service agents to carry out an investigation.
The letter explains that the nonprofit could end up being subjected to “potential” IRS violations.
Officials with TTV claim via a message on the website for the group that they have worked alongside both state and federal officials and law enforcement.
“We did involve federal and state officials and law enforcement and are working with those who wish to act,” stated the post. “Unfortunately, some are not willing to work with us, which is why we are encouraging all Americans to take action in their state to ensure free and fair elections.”
