Publishers of right-wing activist Dinesh D'Souza's debunked election fraud book and film will stop distributing 2,000 mules and have issued a public apology to the Georgia man it falsely accused of voting illegally.
Salem Media issued a press release Friday apologizing to Mark Andrews, the voter suing D'Souza,
his publisher, and a conservative nonprofit called True the Vote which
provided election fraud "research" without the evidence to back it.
"It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules
film and book would harm Mr. Andrews," the statement reads. "We
apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews’ image in the movie,
book, and promotional materials have caused Mr. Andrews and his
family."
Salem
Media shifts much of the responsibility onto the conservative activist
and nonprofit they say they counted on to deliver reliable facts.
"We
relied on representations made to us by Dinesh D’Souza and True the
Vote...that the individuals depicted in the videos provided to us by
TTV, including Mr. Andrews, illegally deposited ballots," Salem Media's
statement reads.
"We have learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has cleared Mr. Andrews of illegal voting activity in connection with the event depicted in 2000 Mules."
D'Souza's
"documentary" became one of the leading disseminators of baseless
election fraud claims in 2022 when it was screened in more than 270
theaters nationwide, the Associated Press reported at the time.
The film, which relied on a flawed analysis of cellphone data and surveillance footage, was praised by former President Donald Trump at the time for exposing “great election fraud," the report noted.
Earlier this year, True the Vote admitted to a Georgia judge that it did not have evidence to support its claims.
It was billed as a press conference but became a mini-MAGA rally.
So
says Maggie Haberman of the New York Times on Donald Trump's morning
speech, which was delivered in the gilded lobby of Fifth Avenue's Trump Tower on Friday morning without the 45th president fielding any questions.
According to past defendants who have had their criminal trials overseen by New York Supreme Court
Justice Juan Merchan, a guilty defendant's sentence depends entirely on
their level of respect for the courtroom and how remorseful they are
after the verdict is announced.
The Daily Beast recently interviewed several past defendants
who Merchan sentenced in previous trials, and virtually all of them
agreed that the judge who presided over Trump's first criminal trial was
tough, but fair and even-keeled. One defendant was Andrew Rossig, who
was sentenced over a BASE jumping incident in which he parachuted from
the top of the One World Trade Center building in lower Manhattan (built
over the original site of the Twin Towers) in 2013.
A conservative think tank with a controversial plan for if Donald Trump
wins the presidential election was under fire on Friday after flying
their headquarters' flag upside down and then advertising it.
Heritage Foundation, known in part for its "Project 2025" plan to
remake the government in MAGA's image, posted a photo of its upside-down
flag on social media after Trump was convicted of 34 felonies in a hush
money cover-up case in New York. The stunt is likely a reference to Supreme Court
Justice Samuel Alito, whose wife reportedly flew an upside-down
American flag in response to a neighbor's anti-Trump signs and a
follow-up fight.

Donald Trump is wasting no time in getting back on the campaign trail now that the verdict is in and his historic criminal trial in New York City is over.
The former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee headlined a campaign fundraiser just a couple of hours after being convicted. On Saturday he'll attend a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) match in Newark, New Jersey, Fox News confirmed. And on Sunday he'll sit for a "Fox and Friends" interview.
"We’ll be fighting hard," Trump told Fox News' Brooke Singman in an interview soon after he was found guilty of all 34 felony counts in his case, the first in which a former or current president stood trial.
Trump emphasized that he was excited to get back on the campaign trail.
On Friday, as he addressed reporters from the atrium of his Trump Tower in New York City, where he launched his first White House bid nine years ago, the former president vowed that "we're going to fight.".
For six weeks, Trump had been confined to the courtroom in Lower Manhattan, which prevented him from campaigning across the country other than on weekends and Wednesdays, when there was no trial.
But Trump's campaign touted that even during the duration of the trial, the candidate was able to generate "billions of dollars" in media coverage as well as host rallies and fundraisers.
The former president's tenure in court also didn't seem to put a dent in the slight edge he enjoys in the polls over President Biden in the key battleground states that will likely decide the outcome of their rematch.
And the former president's top pollsters put out a memo on the eve of the verdict arguing that a conviction would not have any electoral consequences.
"We are already back to the mission," the Trump campaign told Fox News Digital on Thursday evening. "President Trump won’t let this sham stop the movement of this campaign to save the nation."
Longtime Republican strategist David Carney, a veteran of multiple GOP presidential campaigns who is now steering a pro-Trump super PAC, told Fox News that "the show trial is over and Trump is unleashed to campaign at will again. With the miscarriage of justice out in the open, he will have the wind to his back."
Trump enjoyed an initial burst of fundraising courtesy of his guilty verdicts.
The former president's campaign announced on Friday morning that it had hauled in $34.8 million in fundraising from 6pm ET to midnight on Thursday, immediately after the verdict went viral.
On Friday evening, the campaign updated their fundraising total - nearly $53 million over 24 hours.
The campaign highlighted in a release that they raked in "a record shattering small dollar fundraising haul and said it was "nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform." They emphasized that the guilty verdicts "have awakened the MAGA movement like never before."
Trump will continue his fundraising blitz with a swing at the end of next week in California.
The former president heads to the blue bastion of San Francisco on June 6 for a fundraising dinner hosted by tech investors David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, two of the heaviest hitters in Silicon Valley and co-hosts of the hot "All-In" podcast.
Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, a Trump ally and potential 2024 running mate who spent time a few years back in San Francisco working for hedge funds in the tech sector, was instrumental in putting the top dollar fundraising together.
Trump heads south to Beverly Hills for a June 7 fundraiser and a June 8 finance event in Newport Beach in Orange County.
The trip doesn't mean the Trump campaign thinks overwhelmingly blue California may be in play.
Instead, Trump's swing and two fundraisers in the Bay Area on June 5 headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris are the latest proof that the Golden State remains a crucial ATM for campaign cash.

Former President Donald Trump joins a growing list of world leaders convicted after leaving office, with many critics in the U.S. claiming that such measures hurt the country’s image as a global leader.
A New York City court found Trump guilty of falsifying business documents related to payments made to Michael Cohen, who had paid porn actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. World leaders largely offered restrained comment on the verdict, but some of Trump’s closest allies criticized the decision and urged him to "keep fighting."
Many have argued that the former president was targeted for political reasons, citing the fact that other cases were opened against him around the same time – though the other three cases, such as the Georgia trial, were delayed – as well as Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg campaigning on his promise to go after Trump.
Trump insisted that his trial, which included a gag order preventing him from discussing the case, occurred to keep him out of the upcoming election because Democrats "can’t win at the ballot box." Biden, meanwhile, has blasted any efforts to undermine the decision as "reckless" and "irresponsible" while quipping that he had "no idea I was that powerful" in response to claims he had orchestrated the trial.
Donald Trump appeared at UFC 302 and received a huge ovation from the fans at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday night as fans awaited the main event featuring Dustin Poirier challenging for Islam Makhachev’s UFC Lightweight Championship.
Trump walked into the arena with UFC president Dana White. He also stopped for a second to greet comedian Theo Von. Trump shook the hands of some fans and waved to the crowd.

It was one of Trump’s first public appearances since he was found guilty on all counts in a New York criminal trial on Thursday.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.
"This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt as a rigged trial and disgrace. It wouldn't give us a venue change," Trump said afterward. "We were at five percent or 6% in this district, in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial."
Trump said "the real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people."
"And they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here," Trump said. "You have a Soros backed DA and the whole thing."
He added: "We didn't do anything wrong. I'm a very innocent man. And it's okay. I'm fighting for our country. I'm fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now."
Trump said that the case was "done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent."
"And I think it's it's just a disgrace. And we'll keep fighting--we'll fight till the end and we'll win because our country's gone to hell," he said. "We don't have the same country anymore. We have a divided mess. We're a nation of decline, serious decline."
Trump said "millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists. And they're taking over our country. We have a country that's in big trouble."
"But this was a rigged decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case. Never," he said. "And we will fight for our Constitution. This is long from over."
Trump has made semi-regular appearances at UFC events. He’s close friends with White, who spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Trump’s favor.

These other countries don't have jury trials. Kind of an important distinction, wouldn't you say?

Aaron Rodgers was at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday night, and he got to witness firsthand the thunderous applause former President Trump received when he walked into the arena before the start of the main card.
Videos circulating across social media showed Trump walking to his seat with UFC President Dana White. Rodgers and former Green Bay Packers teammate Mercedes Lewis sat as Trump walked past the two of them.
Fans of the New York Jets quarterback were quick to antagonize him on social media. Rodgers’ video he posted on his Instagram with Lewis filled the comments section with pro-Trump support. Rodgers backed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president.
Trump was making one of his first public appearances following last week's guilty verdict in his New York criminal case.
On Sunday, Rodgers posted a photo on his Instagram Stories showing that he shook hands with Trump in between fights.
"Priceless," he captioned the snap.
Man, you guys are just like Biden. You just can't help but lie all the time, about everything.
At least Joey can blame his dementia. What're your excuses?

Trump walked into the arena with UFC president Dana White. He also stopped for a second to greet comedian Theo Von. Trump shook the hands of some fans and waved to the crowd.
It was one of Trump’s first public appearances since he was found guilty on all counts in a New York criminal trial on Thursday.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg charged Trump with 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump pleaded not guilty to all counts.
"This was a disgrace. This was a rigged trial by a conflicted judge who was corrupt as a rigged trial and disgrace. It wouldn't give us a venue change," Trump said afterward. "We were at five percent or 6% in this district, in this area. This was a rigged, disgraceful trial."
Trump said "the real verdict is going to be November 5th by the people."
"And they know what happened here and everybody knows what happened here," Trump said. "You have a Soros backed DA and the whole thing."
He added: "We didn't do anything wrong. I'm a very innocent man. And it's okay. I'm fighting for our country. I'm fighting for our Constitution. Our whole country is being rigged right now."
Trump said that the case was "done by the Biden administration in order to wound or hurt an opponent, a political opponent."
"And I think it's it's just a disgrace. And we'll keep fighting--we'll fight till the end and we'll win because our country's gone to hell," he said. "We don't have the same country anymore. We have a divided mess. We're a nation of decline, serious decline."
Trump said "millions and millions of people pouring into our country right now from prisons and from mental institutions, terrorists. And they're taking over our country. We have a country that's in big trouble."
"But this was a rigged decision right from day one, with a conflicted judge who should have never been allowed to try this case. Never," he said. "And we will fight for our Constitution. This is long from over."
Trump has made semi-regular appearances at UFC events. He’s close friends with White, who spoke at the 2016 Republican National Convention in Trump’s favor.

'We apologize': Publisher vows to stop selling debunked election conspiracy film
Publishers of right-wing activist Dinesh D'Souza's debunked election fraud book and film will stop distributing 2,000 mules and have issued a public apology to the Georgia man it falsely accused of voting illegally.
Salem Media issued a press release Friday apologizing to Mark Andrews, the voter suing D'Souza, his publisher, and a conservative nonprofit called True the Vote which provided election fraud "research" without the evidence to back it.
"It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules film and book would harm Mr. Andrews," the statement reads. "We apologize for the hurt the inclusion of Mr. Andrews’ image in the movie, book, and promotional materials have caused Mr. Andrews and his family."
Salem Media shifts much of the responsibility onto the conservative activist and nonprofit they say they counted on to deliver reliable facts.
"We relied on representations made to us by Dinesh D’Souza and True the Vote...that the individuals depicted in the videos provided to us by TTV, including Mr. Andrews, illegally deposited ballots," Salem Media's statement reads.
"We have learned that the Georgia Bureau of Investigation has cleared Mr. Andrews of illegal voting activity in connection with the event depicted in 2000 Mules."
ALSO READ: Trump campaign allegedly took ‘excessive’ contributions by the nickel and dime
The film has been removed from Salem platforms and neither the book nor the film will be distributed again in the future, according to the statement.
D'Souza's "documentary" became one of the leading disseminators of baseless election fraud claims in 2022 when it was screened in more than 270 theaters nationwide, the Associated Press reported at the time.
The film, which relied on a flawed analysis of cellphone data and surveillance footage, was praised by former President Donald Trump at the time for exposing “great election fraud," the report noted.
Earlier this year, True the Vote admitted to a Georgia judge that it did not have evidence to support its claims.

According to past defendants who have had their criminal trials overseen by New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, a guilty defendant's sentence depends entirely on their level of respect for the courtroom and how remorseful they are after the verdict is announced.
The Daily Beast recently interviewed several past defendants who Merchan sentenced in previous trials, and virtually all of them agreed that the judge who presided over Trump's first criminal trial was tough, but fair and even-keeled. One defendant was Andrew Rossig, who was sentenced over a BASE jumping incident in which he parachuted from the top of the One World Trade Center building in lower Manhattan (built over the original site of the Twin Towers) in 2013.

Tales from The Trail: Trump 'unleashed' with criminal trial over
Trump to attend UFC fight in New Jersey on Saturday evening
Donald Trump is wasting no time in getting back on the campaign trail now that the verdict is in and his historic criminal trial in New York City is over.
The former president and presumptive Republican presidential nominee headlined a campaign fundraiser just a couple of hours after being convicted. On Saturday he'll attend a UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) match in Newark, New Jersey, Fox News confirmed. And on Sunday he'll sit for a "Fox and Friends" interview.
"We’ll be fighting hard," Trump told Fox News' Brooke Singman in an interview soon after he was found guilty of all 34 felony counts in his case, the first in which a former or current president stood trial.
Trump emphasized that he was excited to get back on the campaign trail.
On Friday, as he addressed reporters from the atrium of his Trump Tower in New York City, where he launched his first White House bid nine years ago, the former president vowed that "we're going to fight.".
For six weeks, Trump had been confined to the courtroom in Lower Manhattan, which prevented him from campaigning across the country other than on weekends and Wednesdays, when there was no trial.
But Trump's campaign touted that even during the duration of the trial, the candidate was able to generate "billions of dollars" in media coverage as well as host rallies and fundraisers.
The former president's tenure in court also didn't seem to put a dent in the slight edge he enjoys in the polls over President Biden in the key battleground states that will likely decide the outcome of their rematch.
And the former president's top pollsters put out a memo on the eve of the verdict arguing that a conviction would not have any electoral consequences.
"We are already back to the mission," the Trump campaign told Fox News Digital on Thursday evening. "President Trump won’t let this sham stop the movement of this campaign to save the nation."
Longtime Republican strategist David Carney, a veteran of multiple GOP presidential campaigns who is now steering a pro-Trump super PAC, told Fox News that "the show trial is over and Trump is unleashed to campaign at will again. With the miscarriage of justice out in the open, he will have the wind to his back."
Trump enjoyed an initial burst of fundraising courtesy of his guilty verdicts.
The former president's campaign announced on Friday morning that it had hauled in $34.8 million in fundraising from 6pm ET to midnight on Thursday, immediately after the verdict went viral.
On Friday evening, the campaign updated their fundraising total - nearly $53 million over 24 hours.
The campaign highlighted in a release that they raked in "a record shattering small dollar fundraising haul and said it was "nearly double the biggest day ever recorded for the Trump campaign on the WinRed platform." They emphasized that the guilty verdicts "have awakened the MAGA movement like never before."
Trump will continue his fundraising blitz with a swing at the end of next week in California.
The former president heads to the blue bastion of San Francisco on June 6 for a fundraising dinner hosted by tech investors David Sacks and Chamath Palihapitiya, two of the heaviest hitters in Silicon Valley and co-hosts of the hot "All-In" podcast.
Sen. JD Vance of Ohio, a Trump ally and potential 2024 running mate who spent time a few years back in San Francisco working for hedge funds in the tech sector, was instrumental in putting the top dollar fundraising together.
Trump heads south to Beverly Hills for a June 7 fundraiser and a June 8 finance event in Newport Beach in Orange County.
The trip doesn't mean the Trump campaign thinks overwhelmingly blue California may be in play.
Instead, Trump's swing and two fundraisers in the Bay Area on June 5 headlined by Vice President Kamala Harris are the latest proof that the Golden State remains a crucial ATM for campaign cash.

"Well, you tell him that I don't talk to suckas."
Trump verdict puts US among infamous countries that prosecuted opposition leaders: Who else is on the list?
Russia, Venezuela and China are just a few of the countries that have prosecuted political opposition
Former President Donald Trump joins a growing list of world leaders convicted after leaving office, with many critics in the U.S. claiming that such measures hurt the country’s image as a global leader.
A New York City court found Trump guilty of falsifying business documents related to payments made to Michael Cohen, who had paid porn actress Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. World leaders largely offered restrained comment on the verdict, but some of Trump’s closest allies criticized the decision and urged him to "keep fighting."
Many have argued that the former president was targeted for political reasons, citing the fact that other cases were opened against him around the same time – though the other three cases, such as the Georgia trial, were delayed – as well as Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg campaigning on his promise to go after Trump.
Trump insisted that his trial, which included a gag order preventing him from discussing the case, occurred to keep him out of the upcoming election because Democrats "can’t win at the ballot box." Biden, meanwhile, has blasted any efforts to undermine the decision as "reckless" and "irresponsible" while quipping that he had "no idea I was that powerful" in response to claims he had orchestrated the trial.

Aaron Rodgers posts photo of himself shaking hands with Trump after mocking on social media
Rodgers in attendance at UFC 302 on Saturday night
Aaron Rodgers was at UFC 302 in Newark, New Jersey, on Saturday night, and he got to witness firsthand the thunderous applause former President Trump received when he walked into the arena before the start of the main card.
Videos circulating across social media showed Trump walking to his seat with UFC President Dana White. Rodgers and former Green Bay Packers teammate Mercedes Lewis sat as Trump walked past the two of them.
Fans of the New York Jets quarterback were quick to antagonize him on social media. Rodgers’ video he posted on his Instagram with Lewis filled the comments section with pro-Trump support. Rodgers backed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president.
Trump was making one of his first public appearances following last week's guilty verdict in his New York criminal case.
On Sunday, Rodgers posted a photo on his Instagram Stories showing that he shook hands with Trump in between fights.
"Priceless," he captioned the snap.
