Special counsel Robert Muellers report mentions a claim that Russians recorded President Bill Clinton having phone sex with White House intern Monica Lewinsky but the reference was redacted from the version released to the public.
The redaction is likely to anger Republicans, because the allegation has been known since at least 2001 and the Mueller report's reference to a claim that President Trump watched prostitutes urinating in a Moscow hotel room was not struck out.
Clinton allegedly was recorded by Russia in the 1990s, allowing Russia to learn of the affair before American officials. A reference to the Clinton intercept was redacted from the Mueller report to protect personal privacy, but sources told the Washington Examiner that the context makes clear what was blacked out.
They figured Clinton's sordid past history would legitimize any fairy tale they could makeup about Trump.
