  • Trump has been openly supportive of Russian President Vladimir Putin, since his election campaign; he vowed to improve US-Russia ties and forge a new era of co-operation instead of confrontation between the two countries.

    He also supported Putin's stance on non-interference in Syria, vowing to step-up Russo-US energy co-operation.

    In turn, Putin was also appreciative of Trump's proposed policies.

    However, Trump has vehemently denied these allegations.

    He runs a private intelligence firm and was hired by the Republicans as well Clinton's campaign to find information on their political opponents during the election.

    Reactions to the report

    Reactions to the report
  • Democrat Jared Polis said "If the reports of Trump being compromised are not true they must be refuted, if true he should not be president."

    Trump senior aide Kellyanne Conway said "nothing's been confirmed, they're all unnamed, unspoken sources."

    Members of the Obama administration chose to remain silent on the reports as well.

  • Information

    FBI knew 2 months ago

  • Sources said the report was given to the FBI 2 months before the election. Since then, US agencies spent time to verify the claims made in the reports. They found it credible enough to provide Obama and Trump with a presidential briefing last week.
