Moby has claimed that members of the CIA asked him to share details of Trump's alleged collusion with Russia because he had a large number of social media followers, Daily Mail reported.

The DJ made the claim during a radio interview on Friday where he was asked about an Instagram post he made in February last year, a month after Trump's inauguration.

In that post, Moby, 52, said that after speaking to 'friends who worked in DC', he could tell fans that Trump 'was being blackmailed by the Russian government, not just for being peed on by Russian hookers, but for much more nefarious things.'

The reference was to the 'dirty dossier' of inaccurate accusations that was compiled by a former British intelligence officer which included a reference to the president being urinated on by prostitutes during a trip to Moscow.

Moby went on to say: 'The Trump administration is in collusion with the russian government, and has been since day one.

'I'm writing these things so that when/if these things happen there will be a public record beforehand.'

In his phone interview on Friday, he defended the post to Louisville station WFPK, and said the information was reliable and came from CIA insiders who were 'truly concerned' about the president.

'Through years of touring and spending time in DC and New York, I've managed to make a few friends in the intelligence community and I guess it was about a year ago we were having dinner and they were really concerned, partially based on this Fusion GPS report on Trump essentially being run as a Russian agent.

'These are some active and former CIA agents who were truly concerned.

'They were like, "This is the Manchurian Candidate, like [Putin] has a Russian agent as the President of the United States".

'So they passed on some information to me and they said, like, "Look, you have more of a social media following than any of us do, can you please post some of these things just in a way that … sort of put it out there."'

On Friday, Moby threatened that things would get 'a lot darker' and he accused Trump, his family and his businesses, of having ties to 'organized crime, sponsors of terrorism and Russian oligarchs'.

'It's really disturbing and it's going to get quite a lot darker. I guess we should all fasten our seatbelts and gold on.'

The dossier was produced by the Democrat-linked research firm Fusion GPS and former MI6 agent Christopher Steele.

It suggested that Trump was being blackmailed by the Russians over visits to Moscow which included the alleged prostitute encounter and claimed it was proof of collusion between the Kremlin and the Trump campaign.
