D’Souza issues apology over surveillance videos used in 2020 election film '2,000 Mules'

Conservative filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza has issued an apology over surveillance videos  used in his documentary film “2,000 Mules” about the 2020 election.

D’Souza said the video footage, which shows ballot harvesting, is misleading.

He said all of the individuals’ images shown in the videos were blurred and unrecognizable but one of the individuals, Mark Andrews, has "initiated a lawsuit over the use of his blurred image in the film and the book." 

D’Souza said he owes 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," he said in a statement. "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. 

D’Souza maintained that the overall premise of the film is accurate.
