Photo published for Russia denies having compromising material on Donald TrumpThe Kremlin denied it has compromising information about US President-elect Donald Trump, describing the allegations as "pulp fiction".
Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin, said reports that Trump was the subject of "Kompromat" -- a Russian term for compromising information intended to be used against someone, were an "attempt to harm our bilateral relationship."
    CNN reported Tuesday that intelligence officials last week presented Barack Obama and Trump with a two-page synopsis of memos about the President-elect compiled by a former British intelligence official.
    Multiple US officials with direct knowledge of the briefings said that the synopsis included allegations that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about Trump.
    It also contained allegations of a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government.
    Trump rejected the claims. In a Twitter post Tuesday night, he said: "FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH
    Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for  Vladimir Putin.
    During a conference call on Wednesday, Peskov said the claims were false. "No, the Kremlin does not have 'Kompromat' on Trump," he said in response to a question from CNN. "The information does not correspond to reality and it is complete fiction."
    Peskov added: "The fabrication of such lies in terms of the previous open part of the report, and this one which is a comparable lie, it's called pulp fiction in English."
    "Clearly there are those who are creating hysteria, who are trying to support this witch hunt, and President-elect Trump himself described it like this."
