President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday delivered his first press conference since the November presidential election. Trump addressed his relationship with Russia and how he will handle his business once taking office.

CNN first reported Tuesday that intelligence officials had informed Trump of allegations that Russian operatives had damaging information, which Buzzfeed then published in a 35-page unverified document shortly thereafter. Trump called out both outlets for spreading “fake news” in a heated press conference Wednesday, and referenced Russia’s denial via a presidential spokesman that they had gathered any such information.

In Friday’s tweets, the president-elect again cited the Kremlin’s denial that Russia had compiled any dossier of compromising information —“Russia says nothing exists.”
