US President Donald Trump has seized on reports that Hillary Clinton’s team bankrolled a sleazy dossier of allegations linking him to Russia.<\/p>\n
Unfounded claims that Mr Trump had been filmed with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel surfaced in the closing stretch of last year’s White House race.<\/p>\n
Mrs Clinton’s presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee (DNC) reportedly helped fund the research.<\/p>\n
“The victim here is the President,” Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
He dismissed the dossier shortly before his inauguration as “fake news”.<\/p>\n
According to US media reports, Perkins Coie, a law firm representing the Clinton campaign and DNC, hired intelligence firm Fusion GPS in April 2016.<\/p>\n
