"I have nothing to do with Russia," - Trump

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says Russia has never tried to put pressure on him.

Censor.NET reports citing Trump's Twitter page.

"Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!!" he wrote.

Earlier, CNN said that a two-page synopsis appended to a U.S. intelligence report on Russia's interference in the 2016 election included allegations that Russian operatives possessed compromising personal and financial information about Trump.

As reported, the summary includes information provided by a former British intelligence officer, who in turn received it from Russian sources. The operative, allegedly a former MI6 agent, worked in Russia in the 1990s.

According to CNN, the FBI has launched a probe into the credibility of the data.
