American intelligence intercepts recorded members of the Russian government talking about Donald Trump and his allies months before he launched his presidential bid, according to a new report.

The allegations come from a new Wall Street Journal report that describes the 2015 conversations as containing "vague and inconclusive information." According to the report, the intercepted conversations included talk of meetings between Russians and Trump allies.

The report adds that no specific Trump associates were named by the Russians and it was unclear whether the discussions had anything to do with Trump's presidential bid, which he would announce later that year.

The email exchange, which Trump Jr. tweeted on Tuesday , shows a publicist describing "high level and sensitive information" as "part of Russia and its government's support for Mr. Trump."
