The Kremlin says documents suggesting Russia has compromising information about Donald Trump were fabricated in an attempt to damage US-Russia relations.
It emerged on Tuesday night that a former British spy reportedly tipped off US intelligence that Russian operatives are claiming to have compiled damaging information about the president-elect.
The claims were included in an addendum to a top secret report presented last week to Mr Trump and to President Barack Obama, according to CNN.
