Dinesh D’Souza Issues Apology Over Salem Media Group Documentary 2000 Mules

"We recently learned that surveillance videos used in the film may not have actually been correlated with the geolocation data."

Dinesh D’Souza has issued a public apology for his 2000 Mules documentary for Salem Media Group he now admits portions of were inaccurate.

In a note published to his website, D’Souza stated that his partnership with organization True the Vote led him to believe that surveillance video and cell phone data proved a conspiracy to rig the 2020 election for President Joe Biden.

However, he said that might not have been an accurate representation.

“We recently learned that surveillance videos used in the film may not have actually been correlated with the geolocation data,” D’Souza’s statement read.

The assertions made in 2000 Mules have been debunked by law enforcement, election officials, and other media outlets since its release. Earlier this year, Salem Media Group issued an apology to Mark Andrews, a Georgia man who was wrongly identified as one of the “mules” in the supposed scheme.

As part of his public apology, Dinesh D’Souza made an expression of regret to Andrews.

“While all of these individuals’ images were blurred and unrecognizable, one of the individuals has since come forward publicly and has initiated a lawsuit over the use of his blurred image in the film and the book,” D’Souza said. “I owe this individual, Mark Andrews, an apology. I now understand that the surveillance videos used in the film were characterized on the basis of inaccurate information provided to me and my team. If I had known then that the videos were not linked to geolocation data, I would have clarified this and produced and edited the film differently.”
