Arizona's top state prosecutor requested that the FBI and Internal Revenue Service investigate a conservative nonprofit group featured in the controversial documentary 2,000 Mules.
Attorney General Mark Brnovich, a Republican, claims True the Vote has refused to cooperate with state investigators and won't share evidence it put forward in the Dinesh D'Souza documentary, which raised ballot-harvesting allegations that have fueled claims of widespread election fraud in the 2020 election. His office also claims that the group has used the claims to raise large sums of money, prompting the call for an investigation by the IRS.
"TTV alleges it has in its possession geolocation data from a number of mobile devices showing those mobile devices making several trips in which it is said people are walking to, from, or past ballot drop boxes," Chief Special Agent Reginald"Reggie" Grigsby wrote in the letter.
"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. They indicate they have provided the information to law enforcement agencies; in our case they have not after promising to do so.
The information the letter lays out points out"potential violations" of the tax code given the conservative group's 5013 nonprofit status. On its website, True the Vote claims that it has been in contact with law enforcement and other officials. "We did involve federal and state officials and law enforcement and are working with those who wish to act. 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," the post says.Several major Arizona Republican candidates have publicly lauded 2,000 Mules, including gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake, according to Arizona Central.
