Unsubstantiated allegations developed at the request of Democratic Party researchers that Donald Trump was compromised and in league with the Russians were presented to both President Obama and President-elect Trump in intelligence briefings last week.
The FBI says it is investigating the allegations, which party operatives had delivered to the FBI and numerous news organizations before and since the election.
The claims include allegations that Trump was personally compromised by the Russians and that Trump aides were involved in organizing the Russian hack of the Democratic Party. None of the allegations has been verified by ABC News, and some of them are provably false.
A Trump lawyer named in the report angrily denied another assertion in the documents given to the FBI — that he supposedly met with the Russians in Prague last August. “I’ve never been in Prague in my life,” said the lawyer, Michael Cohen.
An FBI official said the allegations were too explosive and salacious not to be investigated.

“CNN has an in-depth article about this”? really! YWN just discredited all the facts in this article by associating CNN (fake news clinton network). you’ve got to do better than that if you want your readers to trust your reports.
Like we can trust Cnn
O boy. More fake news
The FBI and CNN should be investigated for their distortion of the truth misleading the public and promoting lies, misconception and falsifying the News.
Let these old grandfather sore losers just grow up. I feel like vomiting from indulging sooo much anti-trumpitism from these clowns! No wonder their ratings are down. Grow up!
This article reports, in the first sentence, that the unsubstantiated reports about Trump were developed by the Democratic party. The New York Times reports that the reports were originally developed by Republican opponents of Trump during the Republican primaries and then picked up by the Democrats. Political opponents is political opponents.
And a key word is “unsubstantiated”.
Compromised by the Russians? Trump has been compromised by himself, hiding his tax returns, allegations of sexual assault, his bragging about the same, fraud in relation to trump university (“I will never settle”) settled.
