Donald Trump held a movie night at Mar-a-Lago and screened a film for his guests that claimed that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg was involved in a conspiracy to help Democrats get elected.
The film screening event on April 5 was attended by the former president, controversial Arizona gubernatorial candidate, and Peter Navarro, who was held in contempt of Congress for failing to cooperate with the January 6 panel.
The film "Rigged: The Zuckerberg Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump" is a 41-minute film that investigates Mark Zuckerberg's role in the election. It includes an interview with Trump, as well as interviews with other conservatives.
The synopsis of the film does not accuse Facebook of being involved in election fraud, but it does claim that the Meta CEO funded nearly $400 million in grants for voter operation efforts in battleground states.
This is likely a reference to how donations from the Meta CEO and his wife helped fund grants that enabled local election offices to scale up their budgets to better handle mail-in ballots. The couple did not participate in the process to determine which jurisdictions received funds, as was previously stated by the spokesman.
According to The Washington Post, Trump appeared to be in good spirits before the screening, saying he was anticipating watching the film more thanCitizen Kane,Titanic, andGone with the Wind.
A poster of the flick featuring a picture of a man putting money into a ballot box was displayed near a pool on the Trump property.

The film was produced by Citizens United, a conservative group headed up by David Bossie, who told The Post that people should keep talking about voter fraud.
Bossie said that some people here think we shouldn't be talking about 2020. How can we stop it from happening again if we don't prove what happened in 2020?
