Trump On Dodgy Dossier: 'It's All Fake News, It's Phony Stuff, It Didn't Happen'

"It’s all fake news, it’s phony stuff, it didn’t happen,” Trump said of a dossier that makes salacious claims about him.

Trump, who was briefed by U.S. intelligence officials about Russian hacking of the 2016 U.S. election, said it was disgraceful that information from that briefing had been made public and he denounced “sick people” who “put that crap together.”

“It should never have entered paper,” Trump said in a news conference days ahead of his inauguration. The Republican said U.S. intelligence agencies might have leaked the information.
