that CNN reported earlier on today, that was circulating in Congress when Harry Reid made some of his comments demanding that this information be publicly released.

It was this 35 page dossier that provided the base for the 2 page summary that Obama and DT were given last week.

The FBI is reportedly investigating the credibility of the allegations — but officials told The Washington Post that the intelligence community believed that the sources involved were solid enough to warrant the inclusion of some of the claims as an addition onto the classified version of its report into Russian interference in the election.

The claims, based in part on memos compiled by a former British intelligence officer who primarily received the information from Russian sources, include allegations that there was a “a continuing exchange of information during the campaign between Trump surrogates and intermediaries for the Russian government,” CNN reports.

Sources told CNN that it was these same allegations that were included in classified briefings given to members of Congress last year, and which prompted Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid to pen a fiery letter to Comey in the weeks before the presidential election, deriding his agency’s decision to release information about the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s e-mail scandal, but not the Trump campaign’s alleged ties to Russia.

Shortly after CNN published its report, BuzzFeed News published the full 35-page dossier reportedly presented in summary form to the incoming and outgoing presidents.

A dossier making explosive — but unverified — allegations that the Russian government has been “cultivating, supporting and assisting” President-elect Donald Trump for years and gained compromising information about him has been circulating among elected officials, intelligence agents, and journalists for weeks.

The dossier, which is a collection of memos written over a period of months, includes specific, unverified, and potentially unverifiable allegations of contact between Trump aides and Russian operatives, and graphic claims of sexual acts documented by the Russians. CNN reported Tuesday that a two-page synopsis of the report was given to President Barack Obama and Trump.

Now BuzzFeed News is publishing the full document so that Americans can make up their own minds about allegations about the president-elect that have circulated at the highest levels of the US government.

The documents have circulated for months and acquired a kind of legendary status among journalists, lawmakers, and intelligence officials who have seen them. Mother Jones writer David Corn referred to the documents in a late October column. Harry Reid spokesman Adam Jentleson tweeted Tuesday that the former Senate Democratic leader had seen the documents before writing a public letter to FBI Director James Comey about Trump’s ties to Russia. And CNN reported Tuesday that Arizona Republican John McCain gave a “full copy” of the memos to Comey on Dec. 9, but that the FBI already had copies of many of the memos.
