 "I want to thank a lot of the news organisations here today, because they looked at that nonsense that was released by maybe the intelligence agencies - who knows, but maybe the intelligence agencies, which would be a tremendous blot on their record if they in fact did that, a tremendous blot."

Regarding the alleged leaked report of him paying prostitutes to urinate on a bed Obams slept in, he said it was a disgrace and fake news..

"It is all fake news. It is phoney stuff. It didn't happen and it was gotten by opponents of ours," he said."It was a group of opponents who got together - sick people - and they put that crap together. Somebody released it. It shouldn't have even entered paper but it should never have even been released. I read what was released and I think it was a disgrace."
