Donald Trump's Watersportsgate: Five things we know and don't!
Los Angeles : Donald Trump’s prostitute scandal where he asked ladies to pee in bed made for Obamas at his Moscow hotel has taken a wrong turn completely.
Now US President-elect is again caught in the eye of storm just days before he is due to be inaugurated as President of the America.
The claims have been made in a bombshell dossier, reportedly put together by a former British MI6 spy.
He claims that Russia has 'compromising' evidence of Trump which it gathered in order to be able to blackmail him. According to reports, Trump arranged for a group of prostitutes to urinate on the Moscow hotel bed where the Obamas had slept.
Meanwhile, the news has been claimed ‘fake’ by the billionaire businessman on his Twitter account.
Let us take a look at what we know, and don't know, about the scandal.
What we know
1. President Obama and Trump have been briefed on the dossier after a two-page summary of the allegations were presented to both of them last week in meetings with the top intelligence chiefs in America.
2. The dossier has been around for some time as politicians and journalists in Washington have been aware of the dossier since last autumn.
3. It is unclear if the FBI is investigating the claims as they have remained tight-lipped and not yet commented on-the-record about whether it is investigating the dossier.
4. American security agencies are investigating Russian hacking of the election as they believe and have found evidence that Vladimir Putin ordered a cyber hacking campaign to help Donald Trump win the US presidential election.
5. So far, Donald Trump has denied the claims and has dismissed the story in typically bullish style. He tweeted: "FAKE NEWS - A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT!"
Don't know
1. Claims surrounding Trump has not been proven so far so we are bound to ask that whether the facts been checked?
2. Talking about the source, it has been reported that the Trump dossier has been prepared by a retired former British spy so is it credible?
3. Whether it had any effect on US election or not remains to be seen.
4. Many have been calling a full inquiry into the claims but if there will be a full investigation of the claims or not is completely another matter.
5. Nothing has been proven at this point and hence it appears very unlikely to stop Donald Trump from becoming President or involve any impeachment process.
