Attorney A. Scott Bolden said investigators "spliced the dialogue to produce the ugly insinuations and allegations of Footnote 112 to attract publicity — all while impugning Mr. Rtskhiladze’s character."

In the October 2016 texts, Rtskhiladze wrote to Cohen “Stopped flow of some tapes from Russia,” but the report does not include the word "some," according to the letter, which adds that that word “establishes the fact that Mr. Rtskhiladze had no knowledge of the tapes’ content,” Bloomberg reported. The letter also said that Mueller also did not disclose the rest of the texts between the men, which demonstrate Rtskhiladze's lack of knowledge of the tapes.

Rtskhiladze, who has conducted business with Trump, told Bloomberg in an interview that the texts were misconstrued and that he was merely discussing a rumor with Cohen.

Justice Department spokesman Peter Carr declined to comment. The Justice Department on Thursday released a redacted version of the Mueller report. The report contains a brief section on communications with Rtskhiladze and an investment company.

He is identified in the report as an "Executive of the Silk Road Transatlantic Alliance, LLC who communicated with Cohen about a Trump Tower Moscow proposal."
