A US appeals court ruled on Friday that Georgian-American businessman Giorgi Rtskhiladze can proceed with a defamation lawsuit against former Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller was appointed in 2017 to investigate alleged Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential Election. A final report detailing the investigation’s findings was released to the public in 2019. Rtskhiladze claims that a footnote in Volume II of the report falsely implies that he obstructed access to “compromising tapes” involving former President Donald Trump. The note mentions a text message between Rtskhiladze and Trump attorney Michael Cohen where Rtskhiladze says he “stopped flow of some tapes from Russia.” Rtskhiladze later testified to investigators that the tapes in question were fake.
