| This is the “phony Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax” Trump referenced, saying it had put him and the US at a disadvantage when dealing with Putin, but that he overcame it nevertheless. The bit about it being “made-up and paid for by the Democrats and Crooked Hillary Clinton” was a reference to the notorious dossier compiled by a British spy Christopher Steele – paid by Clinton’s campaign through a series of cut-outs. | This is the “phony Russia, Russia, Russia Hoax” Trump referenced, saying it had put him and the US at a disadvantage when dealing with Putin, but that he overcame it nevertheless.

| Entirely unsubstantiated, the Steele Dossier was used by the media to claim Trump was a Russian agent.
