Donald Trump Toe-to-Toe Shouting Match With CNN Reporter

It didn't. EPIC verbal melee.

Fetty Wap Sex Tape Ex-GF Accuses HIM of Leaking
Either Fetty Wap or his current chick is responsible for leaking his sex tape with ex-gf Alexis Sky, according to Alexis, anyway ... who's now issuing her own legal threats.
TMZ obtained a copy of the cease and desist letter Sky's attorney fired off to Team Fetty -- after he sent one to her -- and it squarely accuses the rapper of putting the video out on the Internet. The way she sees it, it was most likely "released by someone gaining access to the materials through him, with or without his knowledge."
Of course, he's accusing her of the same -- so it's a whole lot of finger pointing right now.

Donald Trump Feds Probe Allegations Russia has Compromising Info on Trump Trump Says 'Fake News'

CNN reports the Feds are calling the information "credible" ... compiled by a British intelligence operative who worked for the Democrats during the election. The allegations include what CNN says is a possible blackmail attempt by President Vladimir Putin, using "compromising information" on Trump.

As for Trump, he tweeted, citing Russian officials who say the story is "A COMPLETE AND TOTAL FABRICATION, UTTER NONSENSE," adding "Intelligence agencies should never have allowed this fake news to 'leak' into the public. One last shot at me. Are we living in Nazi Germany?"
