US President-elect Donald Trump has dismissed claims that Russia intelligence agencies have compromising material of a sexual nature about him.
In his first news conference since the presidential election in November, Mr Trump said the reports were "fake news" put together by "sick people", and that the leaking of the information was like "something seen in Nazi Germany".
The long-awaited news conference was a freewheeling affair, with Trump aides cheering from the sidelines at one point and the president-elect angrily refusing to take questions from a CNN reporter.
