The exclusive story released by CNN alleged that Donald Trump had been informed that Russian operatives had crucial information about his past, and that he was made aware of it during a recent meeting with intelligence officials. Not long after the story broke, Buzzfeed reported with further information, including a plan by Russia to allegedly blackmail Trump using with an apparent sex tape, though the report was unverified.

Trump lashed out on Twitter and referred to the story as "fake news." As seen on his offical Twitter account on January 11, the president-elect is continued to speak out.

"Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE," Donald Trump tweeted out Wednesday morning, before adding, "Very unfair!" An hour later Trump returned to Twitter to continue his frustration.

"Russia has never tried to use leverage over me.

I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA - NO DEALS, NO LOANS, NO NOTHING!" Donald Trump added on Twitter. "I win an election easily, a great "movement" is verified, and crooked opponents try to belittle our victory with FAKE NEWS," Trump tweeted once again, while adding, "A sorry state!"

In his final tweet on the issue, the former host of "The Apprentice" then compared the United States to "Nazi Germany." "Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public," the president-elect wrote, while asking, "One last shot at me.

Are we living in Nazi Germany?"
