Trump: ‘Are we living in Nazi Germany?’
President-elect Donald Trump said early Wednesday that he feels like he is “living in Nazi Germany” in a series of tweets denying a report that Russia had compromising information on him.
“Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to ‘leak’ to the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?” he asked.

{mosads}The tweet followed a stream of messages Trump posted blasting a report alleging Russia has compromising information on the president-elect.
A Russian official earlier Wednesday denied the report. Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov called the report “absolute fabrication,” according to The New York Times.
“The Kremlin has no compromising dossier on Mr. Trump, such information is not consistent with reality and is nothing but an absolute fantasy,” he said.
Trump then pointed to Russia’s denial.
“Russia just said the unverified report paid for by political opponents is ‘A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE.’ Very unfair!”
