U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday called on the Congress and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to investigate the leaks of classified information.

Trump took to his Twitter handle and accused his predecessor Barack Obama and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, saying that the claims of his collusion with Russia are just "fake news."

Trump also accused the Democratic Party for fabricating the allegations of his links to Russia as an excuse for running a terrible campaign.
