Donald Trump took to Twitter Wednesday morning to fire back at the media for reporting on the 35-page memo alleging ties between the president-elect and Russia.
Trump called the memo, “A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE”:
Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE." Very unfair!

And he declared that “Russia has never tried to use leverage over me”:
Russia has never tried to use leverage over me. I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA – NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!

I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!

The president-elect then compared what he’s going through to “Nazi Germany”:
Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?
