The internet is abuzz with speculation after the emergence of a 35-page report alleging that Russia possesses salacious information about President-elect Donald Trump. Some details of the report in particular, like Trump hiring Russian prostitutes to perform foul acts as an insult to the Obamas, have taken over social media.
Beyond this scandalous claim, the report (first reported by CNN) also raises more serious allegations about Trump's dealings with Russia.

Read on to separate the facts from the claims that remain uncorroborated.
Naturally, Trump denies that any of the report's claims are true. He responded on Twitter, his favorite method of communication.
