* A previous version of this article stated that, according to US prosecutors, Mr Fullbrook flew to Puerto Rico to tell Garced how he could help her win the election and provided her with a strategy. It also stated that Mr Fullbrook had brokered payments between Velutini and CT and further described him as a “formal subject” of the investigation. In fact, Mr Fullbrook met with Garced to pitch CT’s services and was never formally engaged by her. Velutini engaged CT and paid for its services. US law enforcement describes virtually everyone, including potential witnesses, as a “subject” at the start of an investigation: Mr Fullbrook was interviewed as a witness. We are happy to clarify the record.
