		</div><p>When asked how the recent claims about Moscow would colour his relationship with Vladimir Putin he said the &#8220;fake news&#8221; about the claims in a hotel room in Moscow were &#8220;crap&#8221;. He said it should never have been released, and it was a disgrace that it had been.</p>
<p>Earlier, vice-Presidential elect Mike Pence criticised what he called a <i>&#8220;concerted effort in the mainstream media to de-legitimize our administration&#8221;.</i> He further criticised the actions of those media who published the unverified claims.</p>
<p>Before this afternoon&#8217;s press conference, Donald Trump angrily denied claims that Russia has material that could be used to blackmail him.</p>
<p>He was shown an unverified report which claims Moscow had filmed him in a hotel room in the city. The US president-elect tweeted that the claims are &#8220;nonsense&#8221; and said he had &#8220;nothing to do with Russia&#8221;.</p>
<p>Moscow has also denied the claims.</p>
<p>Meanwhile, Donald Trump&#8217;s choice for Secretary of State says he believes Vladimir Putin and Russia interfered in the US election.</p>
<p>Rex Tillerson is before the US Senate for his confirmation hearing where he described Russia&#8217;s action during the election as &#8220;troubling&#8221;.</p>
<p>He was asked by Republican Marco Rubio if he believed Russia had hacked emails to denigrate Hillary Clinton and answered: <i>&#8220;The report is troubling. It indicates the actions you describe were undertaken.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Rex Tillerson says it is a &#8220;fair assumption&#8221; that Russian President Vladimir Putin knew about Moscow&#8217;s meddling in America&#8217;s 2016 presidential election.</p>
<p>Mr Tillerson said in response to a question from Sen Marco Rubio, a Florida Republican, he would not describe Mr Putin as a &#8220;war criminal&#8221;.</p>
<p>Mr Rubio says Russia&#8217;s support for Syrian President Bashar Assad and bombing in Aleppo should not make it hard to say that Mr Putin is responsible for war crimes.</p>
<p>Mr Rubio has said he has &#8220;serious concerns&#8221; about Mr Tillerson as America&#8217;s top diplomat.</p>
