dailybeast.com – By Marlow Stern – On Tuesday evening, the news site Buzzfeed made the controversial decision to publish a 35-page dossier filled with what they called “explosive” and “unverified” allegations about President-elect Donald Trump. They did so after a CNN story surfaced maintaining that President Obama and President-elect Trump had been briefed on a 2-page version of the report.
The unsubstantiated report, which claimed, among other things, that members of the Trump team maintained direct contact with Russian government representatives during the campaign and that the Kremlin had a cache of kinky blackmail on the president-elect—including purported video of a group of prostitutes performing a “golden shower” routine for Trump so as to defile a bed once occupied by the Obamas—is alleged to have been compiled by Christopher Steele, a former MI6 agent turned director of the London-based company Orbis Business Intelligence.
