    Salem Media Group said in the statement that it has "removed the film from Salem's platforms, and there will be no future distribution of the film or the book by Salem."

    ATLANTA (AP) - The publisher of "2000 Mules" issued a statement Friday apologizing to a Georgia man who was shown in the film and falsely accused of ballot fraud during the 2020 election.

    The widely debunked film includes surveillance video showing Mark Andrews, his face blurred, putting five ballots in a drop box in Lawrenceville, an Atlanta suburb, as a voiceover by conservative pundit and filmmaker Dinesh D'Souza says: "What you are seeing is a crime. These are fraudulent votes."

    Salem Media Group said in the statement that it has "removed the film from Salem's platforms, and there will be no future distribution of the film or the book by Salem."

    "It was never our intent that the publication of the 2000 Mules film and book would harm Mr. Andrews. 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," the statement said.

    A state investigation found that Andrews was dropping off ballots for himself, his wife and their three adult children, who all lived at the same address. That is legal in Georgia, and an investigator said there was no evidence of wrongdoing by Andrews.

    The film uses research from True the Vote, a Texas-based nonprofit, and suggests that ballot "mules" aligned with Democrats were paid to illegally collect and deliver ballots in Georgia and four other closely watched states. An Associated Press analysis found that it is based on faulty assumptions, anonymous accounts and improper analysis of cellphone location data.

    Salem said it "relied on representations by Dinesh D'Souza and True the Vote, Inc. ("TTV") that the individuals depicted in the videos provided to us by TTV, including Mr. Andrews, illegally deposited ballots."

    Lawyers for D'Souza and True the Vote did not immediately respond to emails Friday afternoon seeking comment on Salem's statement.

    Andrews filed a federal lawsuit in October 2022 against D'Souza, True the Vote and Salem. The case is ongoing, and representatives for Salem and for Andrews' legal team did not immediately respond to emails asking whether the statement came as a result of the lawsuit.

    Laughable entry to conspiracy theorist film festival
    Had 2000 Mules been presented a comedy, this would have won several awards. Instead, it's a cheaply made, multi-layered flawed, devoid of facts and logic hit piece. A film intended as a hit piece on democracy written and produced by Dinesh D'Souza, a convicted felon who had his sentence commuted by then president Trump.

    To repay that favor, after Trump lost the election, D'Souza quickly put together this mess. Taking newsclips and video out of context, and ignoring all election laws, D'Souza tries to paint a picture of the election being stolen from Trump.

    Al kidding aside, D'Souza's mission is clear. Make Americans believe that elections are not safe, unless one party, and one party alone is in control of them. 2000 Mules has many fatal flaws in logic, reducing the producers to use slight of hand to make the view believe the election was stolen. Even though since this came out, many of its conclusions have been debunked by agencies hired by Trump to prove there was election theft. 2000 Mules should be remembered in the proper light. An anti-democracy propaganda film.
