Kellyanne Conway ripped the now-infamous Russian dossier with “golden shower” claims as “fake” during an appearance on ABC’s “Good Morning America” on Wednesday.
“I don’t even think this is fake news. I think it’s just fake. I would take the news word right out of it,” she told George Stephanopoulos.
Conway called the allegations that the president-elect was compromised by Russian agents and that his aides were in cahoots with Russian hackers “unsubstantiated, uncorroborated.”

“This is a report from the Internet, not from the intelligence community, these 35 pages rife with misspellings, completely unverified,” Conway said, calling it “nonsense from the Internet.”
BuzzFeed sent the Internet into a frenzy on Tuesday when it published a collection of memos accusing Trump of improper contact with Russian officials — and alleging the former reality TV star arranged “golden showers” with prostitutes in a Moscow hotel room.
CNN previously posted a story citing documents including allegations that Russian operatives have compromising personal information on the president-elect, but declined to publish the raw files. BuzzFeed had no such compunction, publishing the full, unverified document from a person purporting to be a former British intelligence agent.
In a tweet, Trump declared, “FAKE NEWS – A TOTAL POLITICAL WITCH HUNT.” He didn’t say what story he was referring to, but the timing left little doubt.
