Exclusive | DOJ quietly issues first-ever correction to Mueller Report over infamous ‘golden showers’ footnote
- DOJ issues its first correction to the Mueller report, clarifying Giorgi Rtskhiladze is Georgian-American, not Russian.
- Footnote 112, tied to Rtskhiladze and alleged Moscow tapes, is the focus of the correction.
- Rtskhiladze sued Mueller and the U.S. government for defamation in 2020 over the allegations.
- The DOJ made the correction to footnote 112 without an official notice, now resting on the agency’s archival Mueller page.
- Cohen’s texts with Rtskhiladze were described as banter and not evidence of Russian tapes, as per Rtskhiladze’s statements.
- The correction has not altered other conclusions of the Mueller report, according to reporting.
- Rtskhiladze, a Georgian-American, had a development deal with the Trump Organization in Georgia.
- Cohen testified in Trump’s New York hush money trial; he had said he felt pressured to help the government’s case.
- Prosecutors included information in footnote 112 related to alleged tapes and a potential Moscow link.
