>Donald Trump has questioned whether he is living in "Nazi Germany" - after claiming a smear campaign to undermine his presidency.
The incoming US president has taken to Twitter to complain about an intelligence report which claims Russia has compromising material on him.
The report was attached to the end of the official memo given to both Mr Trump and Barack Obama, about allegations of Russian hacking.
Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to "leak" into the public. One last shot at me.Are we living in Nazi Germany?

Trump's campaign manager and advisor Kellyanne Conway says that report did little to prove any Russian involvement in the election:
The document was published in full by Buzzfeed last night with the President-Elect branding it "unverifiable".
The document - allegedly written by a retired British intelligence officer - cites a series of Russian sources, including figures in the Kremlin, Russia's foreign ministry, and intelligence services.
It claims that Russia had fed intelligence to the Trump campaign to help him win election - but that Russia had exploited his personal obsessions to gain compromising material about the new president.
In one such claim, Trump was alleged to have hired prostitutes to defile a hotel room in which he was staying, seemingly because of his hatred for the Obamas who had previously stayed in the same room.
