Russia has denied 'completely fake' allegations that it has a blackmail file on Donald Trump containing footage of him watching prostitutes in a Moscow hotel bed.

U.S. officials allegedly included a two-page synopsis of 'kompromat' – Russian for compromising material – as part of their security briefing of Trump on Friday.

The material, described by Trump as 'fake' and a 'political witch hunt', was based on memos compiled by a British intelligence operative who was considered 'credible' by the U.S. intelligence community, CNN reported.

The document claims Russian sources told the operative that they had extensive material on the now president-elect - including a secret film of him in the suite where President Obama stayed in Moscow, watching prostitutes committing degrading sex acts on the bed where the president slept.

But Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Russian President Vladimir Putin , dismissed the reports as a 'complete fabrication and utter nonsense'.

What is believed to be the 35-page document itself was published by Buzzfeed, which pointed out that it contained errors. Little of its contents can be independently verified, while there has been no official confirmation of the details of the briefing.

Denying even the existence of a 'kompromat' on Trump, Peskov said this morning: 'This information does not correspond to reality and is no more than fiction.'

He insisted that the Kremlin 'does not engage in collecting compromising material'.

And he added: 'There are those who pump up such a tantrum and do their best to maintain a 'witch hunt', and by the way this is how president-elect Trump characterised this fake.

'And why is the continuation of this hysterical state needed? To force our relationship to stay degraded.

'It is a complete fake - not worth the paper it was written on.'

The memo also states that Peskov 'controlled' another dossier containing compromising material on Hillary Clinton compiled over 'many years'.

But Peskov denied there was any such material.

Elsewhere, the memo states that Peskov was 'the main protagonist in Kremlin campaign to aid Trump and damage Clinton', but that he is now 'scared and fears being made scapegoat by leadership for backlash in US'.

Trump himself has already dismissed the claims, tweeting: 'FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!'

In later tweets, Trump slammed 'Very unfair' reports, insisting Russia had 'never tried to use leverage over me' and that he had 'nothing to do with Russia - no deals, no loans, no nothing'.

Donald Trump denied the allegations shortly after they were published on Tuesday night

In a later tweet, Trump repeated Russian claims that the report was 'a complete and total fabrication', adding: 'Very unfair!'

Donald Trump insisted Russia had 'never tried to use leverage over me' and that he had 'nothing to do with Russia - no deals, no loans, no nothing'

In one message, he wrote: 'I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS. A sorry state!'

The apparent leak by security services comes just nine days before Trump's inauguration.

Trump's attorney, Michael Cohen, told Mic that the claims were absolutely false and '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.'

His counselor Kellyanne Conway also hit back against the allegations, and attempted to cast doubt on them by saying they came from 'unnamed sources', during an interview on Late Night with Seth Meyers.

She then said: 'I have to say as an American citizen… we should be concerned that intelligence officials leaked to the press but won’t go and tell the president-elect or the President of the United States himself, Mr Obama, what the information is. They would rather go tell the press.'

When Meyers corrected her by pointing out the reports came from briefings last week, Conway said Trump 'was never briefed'.

DOSSIER TIMELINE Summer 2016: A series of memos containing explosive details about Donald Trump are drawn up with datelines ranging from June to December. November 2016: Trump wins the United States presidential election. December 2016: Document reaches the top of the FBI. Reports claim senator John McCain presents material to agency director James Comey on December 9. January 6: Donald Trump is allegedly briefed about the claims. January 10: Document is leaked and details of its contents published. Advertisement

The Trump administration's transition team did not immediately respond to requests for comment from Buzzfeed News, it has been reported.

Obama had little to add publicly to the bombshell revelations.

'You know I hadn't seen the reports, we were on the plane together, and I hadn't read the news since then and as a matter of principle and national security I don't comment on classified information,' the president said in an interview with NBC News late Tuesday.

He added however that he hopes Congress and the Trump administration will continue to work toward finding answers about who is responsible for hacking scandals that have roiled American politics in recent months.

According to CNN, the briefings, which included the documents of incendiary material, were presented by the country's most senior intelligence chiefs - Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, FBI Director James Comey, CIA Director John Brennan, and NSA Director Admiral Mike Rogers. But they are all yet to comment on the matter.

The meeting last week was at a time when Trump has been feuding with the intelligence community.

The intel chiefs reportedly included the information in order to make Trump aware that the information was circulating within the U.S. intelligence community, lawmakers and senior intelligence officials told the network.

It was included to bolster the agencies' conclusion, also made publicly, that Russia had dirt on both Republicans and Democrats, but released only the bad info on Democrats, via leaks to the WikiLeaks site, as part of the narrative of election interference to bolster Trump.

The document also charged there was an information exchange between Trump surrogates and representatives of the Russian government.

The document also referenced Trump's alleged '(perverted) conduct' at the presidential suite of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow. Pictures show the hotel's interior

The charge has echoes of what then-Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, who got top-level security briefings, charged this fall.

Reid wrote FBI director James Comey in October: 'It has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government - a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States.'

Buzzfeed on Tuesday published memos, which the site noted could not be verified, charging that Russia had been 'cultivating, supporting and assisting' Trump for 'at least five years.'

The site wrote that the documents were 'understood to be by a former British intelligence agent' and was prepared for political opponents of Trump.

Degrading: The dossier claimed Russians purport to have footage showing Donald Trump ordered prostitutes to commit sex acts at a hotel used by the president and first lady 'whom he hated'

Dealings: The dossier apparently includes claims about Trump's financial dealings with Moscow. In 2013 he held his Miss Universe contest in the Russian capital

The document states that Trump had declined 'sweetener' real estate deals in Russia that the Kremlin lined up in order to cultivate him. The business proposals were said to be 'in relation to the ongoing 2018 World Cup soccer tournament'.

Russian authorities tried to 'exploit Trump's personal obsessions and sexual perversion' in order to compromise him.

The document also referenced Trump's '(perverted) conduct' at the presidential suite of the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Moscow, where the President and First Lady Michelle Obama 'whom he hated' had stayed.

It cited 'Source D' as saying Trump's conduct included hiring prostitutes 'to perform a 'golden showers' (urination) show in front of him.' It says the hotel was known to be under the control of Russia's FSB, with hidden cameras and microphones.

KREMLIN DENIES MEMO CLAIMS Russia has denied allegations that the Kremlin collected compromising information about U.S. President-elect Donald Trump. Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for President Vladimir Putin, dismissed news reports as a 'complete fabrication and utter nonsense.' He insisted that the Kremlin 'does not engage in collecting compromising material'. He added: 'There are those who pump up such a tantrum and do their best to maintain a 'witch hunt', and by the way this is how president-elect Trump characterised this fake. Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for President Vladimir Putin (pictured), dismissed news reports as a 'complete fabrication and utter nonsense' 'And why is the continuation of this hysterical state needed? To force our relationship to stay degraded. 'It is a complete fake - not worth the paper it was written on.' The memo also states that Peskov 'controlled' another dossier containing compromising material on Hillary Clinton compiled over 'many years'. But Peskov denied there was any such material. 'This was absolutely fabricated, this is total nonsense. This is what is called "pulp fiction".' This morning, the Russian state-run media has blasted 'troubling' suggestions the FBI should be investigating Donald Trump over some of the claims in the document. News outlet Sputnik warned its readers: 'The fact that multiple media outlets practically simultaneously decided to publish these reports despite admitting their erroneous character is telling by itself. 'However, allegedly the FBI has been in the possession of these memos for some time too.' Sputnik also highlighted a report on the Wikileaks whistleblowing website which claimed as unreliable media reports of Russian agents having kompromat on Trump. Nikolay Kovalyov (right) a former head of Vladimir Putin's (left) security service has denied that the FSB snooped on Donald Trump and collected compromising material on him when he was in Moscow '35 page PDF published by Buzzfeed on Trump is not an intelligence report. Style, facts & dates show no credibility,' WikiLeaks said on Twitter. Meanwhile a former head of Vladimir Putin's security service has denied that the FSB snooped on Donald Trump and collected compromising material on him when he was in Moscow. Nikolay Kovalyov claimed: 'Of course, there is no kompromat.' Commenting on the press reports that 'kompromat' on Trump was gathered since the times when Trump came to Moscow as organiser the Miss Universe pageant in 2013, he said: 'To gather compromising materials about a man who came to hold a beauty contest - who would be interested in it? 'You can rely on my experience. This is not our routine here in Russia.' Kovalyov is now a Russian MP for Putin's United Russia party. He was head of the FSB from 1996-98 and was replaced in the position by Putin, who used the position as the launch pad to his political career. 'The feeling is that (Barack) Obama's administration has put all its efforts on compromising the winner of the presidential race, and they believe that in this fight all means are worth it,' said Kovayov. 'They have got enough compromising materials in their motherland, let them sort it themselves there. 'It is not correct to drag Russia into their political fight.' Advertisement

A spokesman from the hotel told MailOnline this morning: 'In line with our company standard to protect the privacy of our guests, we do not speak about any individual or group with whom we may have done business.'

The site noted that the document contained some errors, such as misspelling the name of a company, the 'Alfa Group.'

The documents quote an unnamed Russian intelligence official as saying there was enough information to blackmail Trump.

The New York Times reported that intelligence officials considered the material 'so potentially explosive' that they decided they needed to tell Trump, Obama, and top congressional leaders about it.

The paper described the memos as being 'generated by political operatives seeking to derail Mr. Trump's candidacy.'

CNN's story was reported by four reporters, including former Watergate scribe Carl Bernstein.

Bernstein said on air that the raw intelligence memos were drafted by a retired MI6 British intelligence operative. MI6, formally the Secret Intelligence Service, conducts foreign intelligence gathering for the UK government.

Chain of information: The dossier was drawn up by an unnamed British ex-spy, obtained by a British diplomat and passed personally to John McCain - who then gave it to James Comey, the FBI Director

Offered? NBC News reporter Tom Winter suggested that he and other reporters had been offered the information but had not acted on the offer

The operative had been hired by a political opposition research firm who did work first for Republican and then Democratic political opponents of Trump.

'He then took it to an FBI colleague that he had known in his undercover work for years,' Bernstein said on CNN.

He said a British diplomat in Russia became aware of the findings independently.

The ambassador then took the information to Arizona senator and staunch Russia critic Senator John McCain, who then 'personally' provided the information to FBI Director Comey.

Pervert: Revelations around Anthony Weiner were made public by the FBI but the Trump 'dossier' was not

On Twitter, NBC reporter Tom Winter suggested the information had already been 'shopped' to reporters last summer but never acted on.

It is unclear if outlets other than NBC were offered it. DailyMail.com was not.

The apparent confirmation of Reid's claim that FBI Director Comey was in possession before the elections of explosive information about Trump – including the claim that Russia tried to cultivate the future U.S. president as an asset – is certain to inflame Democrats.

Democrats were already fuming that Comey decided to reveal just 11 days before the election that the bureau was conducting a search of material contained on the laptop of longtime Clinton aide Huma Abedin.

The device contained emails between Abedin and Clinton which Comey said could be relevant to the closed investigation into the former Secretary of State's handling of classified material on her secret email server.

It was found while the FBI investigated the sexting relationship Abedin's pervert husband Anthony Weiner had with an underage girl. The relationship was first disclosed by DailyMail.com.

After the disclosure of fresh moves on the email probe rocked the campaign, Comey announced two days before the election that the investigation had not changed the original decision not to charge Clinton in connection with her email scandal.

Comey wrote Congress that he felt obliged to reveal the new search for Clinton emails to avoid 'misleading' the public.

'We don't ordinarily tell Congress about ongoing investigations, but here I feel an obligation to do so given that I testified repeatedly in recent months that our investigation was completed,' Comey wrote.
