STATEMENT OF VICTORIA COATES FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Sunday, April 19, 2020 Contact: Cleta Mitchell, Esq. cmitchell@foley.com (202) 295-4081 WASHINGTON, D.C. -- The following statement is released today by Dr. Victoria Coates in response to published reports about her this week in Real Clear Investigations: “The allegations published in Real Clear Investigations are utterly false. I am not Anonymous, and I do not know who Anonymous is.” Cleta Mitchell, counsel to Dr. Coates, noted that the articles in Real Clear Investigations peddled false statements citing only anonymous sources, despite on-the-record denials from Javelin LLC (the literary agent for Anonymous), the White House, and three well-respected former members of the Trump Administration—and now Dr. Coates as well. “We are continuing to explore all available legal options,” concluded Ms. Mitchell. ###
