President Donald Trump has lashed out at the US intelligence community and media after new reports of contacts between members of his team and Russia.

According to BBC News, Mr. Trump accused the National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI of giving out information illegally.

Some US media say top Trump aides were in constant communication with Russian officials in the election campaign. Intelligence officials previously said they believed Russia tried to influence the vote in favour of Mr. Trump.

Moscow has dismissed the claim, describing it as based on unsubstantiated facts.

The allegations come a day after National Security Adviser Michael Flynn resigned amid a row over reports he discussed US sanctions with Russia before Mr. Trump took office.

Leading Republicans have joined calls for a wide investigation into Mr. Flynn’s links with Russia.
