Tuesday night, Buzzfeed dropped months old memos allegedly compiled by an unnamed "former British intelligence agent" hired by anti-Trump Republicans and then later by Democrats to dig up dirt on Trump.

Despite saying the report is "unverified," "potentially unverifiable" and they've come up with no evidence to actually verify the slanderous claims within, they published the memos anyways.

Trump responded by saying it's "a total political witch hunt" and "fake news."

As you have probably seen, this evening we published a secret dossier making explosive and unverified allegations about Donald Trump and Russia. I wanted to briefly explain to you how we made the decision to publish it.

We published the dossier, which Ken Bensinger obtained through his characteristically ferocious reporting, so that, as we wrote, "Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government."
