Are we living in Nazi Germany'': Trump dismisses bombshell reports on alleged Russia ties

Published by Business Insider on Wed, 11 Jan 2017


President-elect Donald Trump has responded to the reporting of unverified claims that Russian operatives have compromising intelligence on him, writing on Twitter on Wednesday morning, "Russia has never tried to use leverage over me.""I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA," Trump wrote. "NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!"Trump was responding to a story first reported by CNN on Tuesdaythat said classified briefing materials given to bothPresident Barack Obama and Trump last week indicated that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information on the president-elect. BuzzFeed later released the complete dossier compiled by an ex-British foreign intelligence officer detailing the claims summarized in the briefing."Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to 'leak' into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany'," Trump wrote.In a statement Wednesday, Russia denied the Kremlin collected compromising information on Trump, calling the claim a "complete fabrication and utter nonsense.""This is an evident attempt to harm our bilateral ties," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said, according to the AP. "The Kremlin does not engage in collecting compromising information."Trump appeared to cite the Russian statement when denying the claims."Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is 'A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE.' Very unfair!," Trump tweeted.As he did Tuesday, Trump also dismissed the Russian intelligence reports as "fake news.""I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!," Trump tweeted Wednesday.Alan Smith contributed to this report.Join the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: These are Stratfor's chilling predictions for 2017
