Trump lawyer shoots down allegations of golden showers intel report

The attorney for Donald Trump has called a report that Russian operatives claim to have compromising personal and financial information about the president-elect, “absolutely silly,” reports Mic.

In an interview with the website, Trump special counsel Michael Cohen dismissed the report outright, calling it “fake news,” that “needs to stop.”

At issue is a bombshell report by CNN stating that multiple U.S. officials revealed the claims in classified documents presented to Trump and President Barack Obama.

Beyond the impact of the CNN report, Buzzfeed posted the unverified intel documents allegedly accusing the president-elect of hiring multiple sex workers to perform “golden showers” in front of him, while noting that the information is unverified.

“Somebody is having a lot of fun at your expense,” Cohen said about the report.”It’s so ridiculous on so many levels. Clearly the person who created this did so from their imagination or did so hoping that the liberal media would run with this fake story for whatever rationale they might have.”

“At some point in time, this fake news nonsense needs to stop. We are talking about the president-elect of the United States of America, and if we want to portray an image of strength and intelligence throughout the world, we need to start acting intelligent,” he said.

I completely believe it. I don't judge the sex acts of consenting adults but I know he perfectly enjoys pissing all over Americans so there is that.

This is the same idiotic individual who tweeted a picture of the outside cover of his passport book as proof he had never been to Prague.

That's the way we roll these days, and The Donald is not exempt.

At a minimum, it's sweet revenge for the 7 or so years he spent spreading the birther lie as gospel.

They wanted to plant the seed that there were 'fake news' reports. They probably planted a few themselves. All in preparation to discredit this story on Trump as 'fake news'.

Plant the seed. Plant some stories. When a real story comes out - say that it is fake.
