Trump told his Twitter followers that Intel chief James Clapper called him to "denounce the false and fictitious report" that claims Trump was compromised by Russia, but Clapper released a statement saying the intelligence community "has not made any judgment" one way or the other.
Trump: Intel head denounced ‘false’ dossier in call
Intel head:
The report had neither been authenticated nor leaked to the media by the U.S. intelligence community.
“I emphasized that this document is not a U.S. Intelligence Community product and that I do no believe the leaks came from within the IC,” he said. "The IC has not made any judgment that the information in this document is reliable, and we do not rely upon it in any way for our conclusions."
The IC released a report last week that concluded Russian President Vladimir Putin called for an influence campaign to help Trump win last year’s presidential election.
