Donald Trump gets a noisy reception as he turns out for Army v Navy American football clash in Baltimore

The President-elect came out fighting despite CIA allegations today that Russian hackers interfered with the US election on his behalf

DONALD Trump brushed off CIA corruption claims as he was cheered to the rafters at the Army vs. Navy American football match.

The President-elect was in Baltimore yesterday for the annual match alongside several high-profile Republicans.

His appearance came just hours after he was forced to fight off new allegations of Russian interference in the US Election campaign.

CIA sources claim Russian hackers worked to swing the vote in Trump's favour.

But the furious Republican hit back at the claims.

He blasted: "These are the same people that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction."

Trump hailed the packed crowd from a private box at the 71,000 capacity ground.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani and Trump's new adviser Steve Bannon appeared alongside the businessman.
