Director of ‘2000 Mules’ Acknowledges the Conspiratorial Film Was Flawed
The director, Dinesh D’Souza, who is facing a lawsuit over the documentary, admitted that an analysis used to make claims about election fraud that were later debunked had been faulty.
More than two years after the widely debunked film “2000 Mules” poured gasoline on right-wing conspiracy theories about election fraud, the documentary’s writer and director, Dinesh D’Souza, has acknowledged that its findings were based on a faulty analysis.
Mr. D’Souza said in a statement on his website that the analysis used in the film, which claimed to depict a vast ring of “mules” illegally gathering large numbers of ballots and surreptitiously placing them in drop boxes, was incorrect.
“We recently learned that surveillance videos used in the film may not have actually been correlated with the geolocation data,” Mr. D’Souza, who is facing a lawsuit over the documentary, said in the statement, which he released on Nov. 26.
Ex-Kansas police detective found dead on first day of federal civil rights trial
Roger Golubski, a veteran Kansas City, Kansas, police detective, was charged with federal civil rights crimes in 2022 after he was accused of exploiting Black women for sex.
A white former Kansas City, Kansas, police detective was found dead Monday of an apparent suicide on the day his federal civil rights trial was set to begin for allegedly sexually abusing Black women over decades, authorities said.
An arrest warrant had been issued when Roger Golubski, 71, failed to appear at a federal courthouse in Topeka on the first day of jury selection. Law enforcement received a 911 call and responded to Golubski’s home in the Kansas City suburb of Edwardsville, where police reported he suffered a fatal gunshot wound with no indications of foul play, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said.
