Trump lashes out at dossier claims after Russia deny allegations
Donald Trump has strongly denied claims Russia has obtained compromising personal and financial information about him.
In an astonishing outburst on Twitter, the President-elect wrote: "I have nothing to do with Russia - no deals, no loans, no nothing".
He also criticised the "intelligence agencies" who he said "allowed this fake news to 'leak' into the public... are we living in Nazi Germany?"
The unverified documents, obtained and published by BuzzFeed, claim the Russian government "cultivated, supported and assisted" Trump for several years.
The unsubstantiated report also includes "unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides, Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians", they said.
ITV News has not authenticated the documents, which contains several errors.
Earlier on Wednesday a spokesman for Russia President Vladimir Putin denied the unverified reports that the Kremlin had collected compromising information on the President-elect.
Dmitry Peskov said the claims were "complete fabrication" and "pulp fiction".
He said: "No, Kremlin doesn't have any compromising information on Trump.
"This information [the report] does not correspond to reality and is nothing else by an absolute fabrication.
"It is an attempt to damage our bilateral relations. It is pulp fiction."
Earlier on Wednesday he described the unverified report as "fake news" that was part of "a total political witch hunt".
The allegations come just days after US intelligence officials said they were "highly confident" Russian President Vladimir Putin "ordered" a campaign to influence the US election.
Donald Trump is due to hold a pre-arranged news conference later today.
