Controversial filmmaker and political conspiracist Dinesh D’Souza issued a public apology on his website Sunday after falsely accusing a metro Atlanta resident of voter fraud during the 2020 presidential election.

In 2022, the political commentator released the film “2000 Mules,” which uses phone geolocation data and drop box surveillance footage to purportedly show so-called “mules” trafficking fraudulent ballots. The information provided in the film has since been debunked after various investigations.

During one of the scenes, surveillance videos shows Mark Andrews, with his face blurred, arriving to a Lawrenceville dropbox to deposit several ballots.
