Russia dossier: Trump says it's phoney, lashes out at media
At his first press conference in 6 months, he also admits for the first time that Moscow had likely meddled in the US polls

Just over a week before taking office, he said he had ceded "complete" managing control of his global property empire to his two adult sons but stopped short of making a full divestment, earning a swift rebuke from an ethics watchdog and Democratic Party opponents.
