Donald Trump has denied allegations one of which claiming he ordered sex workers for a party while in Russia. The 70-year-old president-elect took to Twitter to blast media after unverified reports surfaced saying the Kremlin had damaging intel on him that also included the "Golden Showers" party scandal.
"FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!" Trump wrote in all-capital letters in the Tuesday, January 10 post. "BuzzFeed Runs Unverifiable Trump-Russia Claims #FakeNews," he later tweeted, slamming BuzzFeed, the site which published a 35-page document containing the explosive allegations.

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.
