President Donald Trump has been under the scanner over his alleged links with Russia, which further escalated after a 35-page document released by CNN in January claimed the 70-year-old was involved in obscene sexual acts. Britain's former MI6 officer Christopher Steele, who is believed to have authored the dossier, has now been called in by the Senate to testify over the scandal, the Independent reported Thursday.

After CNN’s report, other news publications followed suit. The dossier contained reports of material that Russian operatives had allegedly collected on Trump. It also included the infamous “Golden Shower Gate” episode, where Trump allegedly paid prostitutes to urinate on a bed that had been used by former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama. The document was reportedly presented to both Trump and Obama.

Trump had attacked Steele declaring the report on the Kremlin connection as a fabricated work put together by a “failed spy.” He got into a fight with several media publications such as BuzzFeed News that dumped the entire dossier after admitting its findings had not been verified, and also busted CNN accusing the cable network of being "fake news."

The allegations have been dismissed by both Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to Sputnik International.

The meeting might be held in the UK or on neutral turf instead.

5. Trump goons in CBP would probably disappear the guy.

No way would he be safe trying to enter the US.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

7. What TLA is CBP? Is it an ATD?

9. Customs and Border Patrol. Want to join?

24. I would not trust our Customs & Border people.

18. Testify from an undisclosed location.

Then move immediately during lunch breaks and move again during the night to a new location.

That will be one way to keep him alive. That and MI6.

[C_U_L8R]

3. The tape must be leaked

Maybe it will be streamed.

[7962]

6. "streamed"....HAAAAA!

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. Drip, drip, drip .... . . . nt

[C_U_L8R]

10. I hear it's a real pissah (as they say in Boston)

[JudyM]

16. It's sure to make quite a splash.

[dchill]

31. Jokers beware! When you make light of the Golden Showers tape...

Its potential effect may be watered down!

[C_U_L8R]

32. The truth will always trickle out

[lagomorph777]

4. Steele won't appear - he's in the UK and has no reason to show up.

Why would he want to go through all that?

[paleotn]

30. I think he will. He put together the dossier on his own time and it's the right thing to do.

But if he does, it will be behind closed doors and definitely not for public consumption. Sources and methods. Protect your contacts above all things.

11. G.O.Pee

[NBachers]

12. Flush Trump

[dalton99a]

14. +1

[JudyM]

17. That'd make great decal.

[Renew Deal]

13. Slowly the entire dossier is being proven accurate

[dalton99a]

15. Yep.

[riversedge]

19. Past time for some drip drip to take down Republicans.

[ffr]

20. Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, this is getting good.

Too awesome for words!

[lanlady]

21. Steele has gone to ground

Since the WSJ published his name as the author of the golden showers report, I believe the man is in hiding. With good reason.

[Bayard]

22. Now, this is different

First time I've heard about the Barack/Michelle bed peeing. I can certainly believe Rump would do this.

[Greensix1]

23. He wasn't in the room long enough

When asked about the incident, Trump said that he wasn't even in the room long enough for it to happen. I know twelve year olds that an lie better than that. He didn't say he wasn't in the room. Or he didn't rent it. Or he didn't sleep in the room. Just that he wasn't in the room long enough for it to have happened. What an UNBELIEVABLE liar.

[dixiegrrrrl]

35. That is the way to catch him, tho.

Any half way decent lawyer can take advantage of his compulsive lying, and create any picture they want ot present to a jury, so to speak, cause Trump has zero credibility.
Same for his team, esp. Conway and Spicer, who have been caught lying more than once.

[DeminPennswoods]

25. "under the scanner"

What a great phrase!

[Still In Wisconsin]

26. Urine trouble again Don! n/t

[NastyRiffraff]

27. Putin dismissed the document

So nothing to see here. (You can hear the tinkle, though)

[NewRedDawn]

28. If he confirmed it

one less thing to hold over the head of his puppet to keep leverage on him. Plus he would lose his asset in the White house if exposed.

[dembotoz]

33. maybe that is why malaria stays in ny...hard to sleep on rubber sheets

[enid602]

34. don

Ah, yes . . . Tinklegate. The only kind of 'leak' he can wrap his head around.
