He was a policy adviser in the administration of President Ronald Reagan and has been affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute and the Hoover Institution. He became a naturalized citizen in 1991. From 2010 to 2012, he was president of The King's College, a Christian school in New York City, until he resigned after an alleged adultery scandal.
In 2012, D'Souza released the conspiracist political film ''2016: Obama's America'', an anti-Barack Obama polemic based on his 2010 book ''The Roots of Obama's Rage''; it earned $33 million, making it the highest-grossing political film of all time. He has since released five other conspiracist political films: ''America: Imagine the World Without Her'' (2014), ''Hillary's America'' (2016), ''Death of a Nation'' (2018), ''Trump Card'' (2020) and ''2000 Mules'' (2022). D'Souza's films and commentary have generated considerable controversy due to their promotion of conspiracy theories and falsehoods,}} as well as for their incendiary nature.
In 2012, D'Souza contributed $10,000 to the Senate campaign of Wendy Long on behalf of himself and his wife, agreeing in writing to attribute that contribution as $5,000 from his wife and $5,000 from him. He directed two other people to give Long a total of $20,000 in addition, which he agreed to reimburse, and later did. At the time, the Election Act limited campaign contributions to $5,000 from any individual to any one candidate. Two years later, D'Souza pleaded guilty in federal court to one felony charge of using a "straw donor" to make the illegal campaign contribution. He was sentenced to eight months incarceration in a halfway house near his home in San Diego, five years' probation, and a $30,000 fine. In 2018, D'Souza was issued a pardon by President Donald Trump.
