Trump even retweeted a post by Michael Cohen, an executive vice president of Trump Organization who is also his special counsel, to back up his denial. Along with a photo of his passport, Cohen wrote, "I have never been to Prague in my life," adding the hashtag, "#fakenews."

The dossier of the allegations had reportedly been swirling around the web before BuzzFeed released the full document. CNN reported before that U.S. intelligence had briefed Trump on reports that Russia had compromising information on him. While Trump was seemingly not aware of the document before BuzzFeed published it, CNN claimed the soon-to-be president and President Obama had received copies.
