Buzzfeed set social media ablaze on Tuesday when it published a report alleged to be compromising intelligence information on the president-elect.
Donald Trump himself blasted the entire report as fake news in a series of tweets.
Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is “A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE.” Very unfair!

Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!

I win an election easily, a great “movement” is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!

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’s chief of staff Reince Priebus called it fake news and “complete garbage” in an appearance with “Fox & Friends” Wednesday.

Of all of the information contained in the report the part that got social media talking was that Trump hired prostitutes to perform “golden showers” on a bed in a Russian hotel because President Obama stayed there before him.
