Yesterday it was reported that a Brit spy uncovered evidence of shocking sexual information held by Russia on US president-elect Donald Trump.
Russia has denied it has uncompromising material on President-elect Trump
A spokesman for Vladimir Putin called the claims ‘total nonsense’
A Kremlin spokesman insisted the unsubstantiated dossier had been fabricated and also denied it had information on Hillary Clinton.
Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, spoke to reporters on a conference call and called the dossier a ‘fake’ and ‘fiction’ which had been dreamt up to further damage US-Russia relations.
He reportedly said: The Kremlin does not have compromising information on Trump.
American news giant CNN opened the political can of worms by reporting that top US intelligence chiefs briefed trump on the explosive claims during a meeting on alleged Russian interference in the presidential election.
The full dossier of the British spys unverified claims details allegations of perverted sexual acts by prostitutes in a Russian hotel room containing Trump.
The report sensationally claims that President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama slept in the same suite at the hotel and that Trump wanted to ‘defile’ the bed which they slept on because “he hated” them.
The hotel room, at the Moscow Ritz Carlton, was bugged by Soviet intelligence agencies, the report alleged.b
After the CNN report, Buzzfeed published the full document which had reportedly been offered to a variety of other news outlets who declined to publish the story because the claims could not be verified.
Trump hit back at the claims branding them “fake” and part of a “political witchhunt”.
He tweeted: “FAKE NEWS A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!
Trump is due to be sworn in as the 45th US President on January 20.
He was reportedly shown the classified information during a briefing by four of the most senior US spy chiefs including FBI director James Comey and CIA director John Brennan.

CNN said knowledge of its existence in Russian hands originally came from a former British MI6 intelligence operative.
The spook was reportedly hired by other US presidential contenders to do political “opposition research” on Trump in the middle of last year.
The FBI was given the information in August, more than two months before the November 8 election, according to CNN.
Shortly after CNN’s report, Buzzfeed published the full dossier which the site said makes claims which their journalists could not verify.
The full document also alleges that Russia has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” Trump for “at least five years.”
Kellyanne Conway, one of Trump senior campaign advisers, slammed the report during an interview on chat show Late Night with Seth Meyers.

She then said: I have to say as an American citizen we should be concerned that intelligence officials leaked to the press but wont go and tell the president-elect or the President of the United States himself, Mr Obama, what the information is. They would rather go tell the press.
When Meyers said that the billionaire was reportedly briefed on the claims, Conway said Trump was never briefed.
Conway attempted to cast doubt on the dossier, saying that it came from "unnamed sources".
She said: "Nobody has sourced it. They are all unnamed, unspoken sources in the story.
"It says it was based on a Russian investigator... it also says that groups that wanted Hillary Clinton to win may have been behind the investigations themselves and most importantly, it says the FBI is trying to confirm it."
Buzzfeeds decision to publish the full unredacted document has sparked a debate over media ethics.
The dossier was reportedly offered to other media outlets, including the Guardian and NBC, who refused to publish it because the claims could be not be verified.
But when CNN reported that Trump had been briefed by the CIA on the lurid claims, Buzzfeed decided to publish the document in full.
The online news outlet posted the dossier along with the warning that it contained errors and claims that were unverified and potentially unverifiable.
Buzzfeed editor Ben Smith has released a statement insisting that the site published the material so Americans could make up their own minds about the allegations.
He defended the sites decision stating that publishing this dossier reflects how we see the job of reporters in 2017 and added that he had serious reason to doubt the allegations.
But US intelligence agencies have now checked out the former Brit spy and find him and his sources credible enough to include some of the information in its briefing to Trump, CNN said.
CNN reports that the dossier was generated by political operatives seeking to derail Mr. Trump's candidacy.
The retired MI6 spy was reportedly hired by a political research firm who worked for both Republican and Democratic enemies of Trump.
The Brit intelligence operative reportedly passed the explosive material to an FBI colleague.
But in another twist, Senator John McCain, who clashed with Trump during his divisive election campaign, was also given the dossier by a UK diplomat last month, reports the Guardian.
McCain then passed the material directly to FBI Director James Come, reports CNN.

US intelligence also concluded President Putin launched a cyber attack against Hillary Clinton's campaign to meddle in the US election and to boost Trump's White House bid.
Trump has repeatedly dismissed the CIA's finding while expressing the need to smooth over Russia-US relations which have eroded during the Obama presidency.
Before the election it was rumoured that the Kremlin was holding sensitive information on Trump.
Also last night Russia accused Britain of plotting an official anti-Russian witch-hunt in an outburst posted on its London embassy website.
It suggested some Brits are hoping to claim the Brexit vote was hacked by Russia and it claimed the UK government will try to turn Trump against Russian president Vladimir Putin.
Meanwhile the Russian foreign ministry has blasted the outgoing Obama administration.
Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said: "Everyday I read news from Washington - new sanctions against Russia, supplying thugs in Syria with MANPADS, absolutely senseless and malicious actions on all fronts of the foreign policy.
"God created the world in seven days. Obama's administration has two days more than that to destroy it."
Yada, yada, yada...

With history in the right hands, it will show just how despicable democrats really are. They are the enemy of the United States of America. They need to be treated as such.
As is often said these days: "But that was then. This is now."
The photo shows more wrinkles in bed linens than HRC now has showing in her face. Almost as many wrinkles as the story itself.
So sick of the lying US enemedia...SO sick of lying, scheming John McShame!!
I'm thinking that tax dollars are being spent to protect bogus jobs at the CIA.
Seems to literally define Fake News.
Are there Factcheck(TM) and Snopes debunkings of these 4chan sourced fanfiction accounts of Trump?
Bet it trends on Facebook News as ‘news’
Was the CIA also involved in Hitlery’s “viral youtube video” claims about the 9/11 attack on our Libyan embassy?
If you had told me two years ago, I’d be on Putin’s side, I’d have said: YOU’RE NUTS! Not so much anymore.
Has anyone noticed that no one wants to talk about “the salacious” details on tv? Oh, no! That would be indelicate. I hope Trump reads the entire stupid pissgate story on air at 11am. My husband said “Even Clinton wouldn’t do that!”
Several articles and TV reports on this, but none are mentioning that it was actually a total prank by 4chan.
What I have noticed is that we once more have a salacious story constantly covered immediately after an FBI leak of HRC data that shows she needs to be prosecuted, and it gets almost zero coverage.
True. Did you see her on tv this morning? Fat with dirty hair again. She needs to go away forever...
Very sad that we live in a pravda country now.
If there’s “compromising” info on Trump, I’m sure Russia has it. That means they would also have it on Hillary. Then why wouldn’t they use that instead of Podesta’s email
PUTIN DENIES LEAK Russia slams nonsense claims it has compromising info about Donald Trumps
More Bull crap being disseminated by the biggest enemy this country has. THE SO-CALLED NEWS AGENCIES. Our s-called news agencies have devolved int what used to called Yellow Journalism and for good cause. These cretins will put anything in print, no source, no verification and no facts but it gives some useless turd a by-line. Another reason to doubt anything put out by the mediots.
We need to fire most of the halfwits at both CIA and FBI, all of the never-Trump political hacks...
It took CIA ten years to find Osama bin Laden and the FBI have dropped the ball on so many counter terrorism opportunities that you can only conclude they completely suck at their jobs...
Trump needs to get in there with a yard broom, disinfectant and a hose to clean house...
