President-elect Trump claims US intelligence chief Clapper called him to “denounce false Russia report”

Donald Trump says the top US spy called him to “denounce” allegations that Russian intelligence have compromising information about the president-elect.

Mr Trump tweeted that the unverified claims were “false and fictitious”.

Director of National Intelligence James Clapper did not go so far in a public statement on Wednesday evening as to reject the claims outright.

He said US intelligence “has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable”.
