Former President Donald Trump reminded a crowd of Iowa voters he is “not into golden showers” over the weekend as he denounced former UK spy Christopher Steele’s dossier in an attempt to rally Republicans to vote for him in the caucuses.

Speaking in Fort Dodge on Saturday, Trump recalled how his wife Melania reacted to the news of the since-discredited claim that he had prostitutes urinate on a bed in a Moscow hotel room.

“Actually, that one she didn’t believe because she said, ‘He’s a germaphobe, he’s not into that. He’s not into golden showers’ as they called it,” recounted the 77-year-old Trump. “I don’t like that idea. No, I didn’t.”

The 45th president then went on to say he thought news of the rumor “would be a big problem” and that “I was going to have a rough night, but that one she was very good on.”

The rumor is believed to have been started by a PR executive with close ties to Bill and Hillary Clinton, according to special counsel John Durham’s May report.

Durham wrote in the 316-page document that Charles Dolan, a former adviser to Hillary Clinton’s failed 2008 presidential campaign and Virginia state chairman for Bill Clinton’s successful 1992 and 1996 runs, appears to have been “the actual source of much of the Ritz Carlton … information contained in the Steele reports.”

Dolan had stayed at the Moscow hotel in June 2016, during which he received a tour that reportedly included a stop at the presidential suite, according to Durham.

The PR executive then met with primary Steele Dossier source Igor Danchenko on June 14, 2016.

Three days later, Danchenko met with Steele in London and the “pee tape” claim appeared in the dossier two days after that.

It claimed that Trump had rented out the presidential suite at the hotel “where he knew President and Mrs [Barack] OBAMA (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and [defiled] the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform ‘golden showers’ (urination) shows in front of him.

“The hotel was known to be under FSB control with microphones and concealed cameras in all the main rooms to record anything they wanted to.”

The report cited a Source D, who “had been present” for the supposed display, a Source E whom it described as “a senior (western) member of staff at the hotel, who said that … several of the staff were aware of it at the time and subsequently,” and a Source F, “a female staffer at the hotel … who also confirmed the story.”

But as Durham dug into the allegations, investigators interviewed “Source E,” identified as the Ritz’s general manager, who “denied having knowledge of the Ritz-Carlton allegations concerning Trump at any time prior to their being reported in the media” and “adamantly denied discussing such allegations with, or hearing them from, Danchenko, or anyone else.”

The report cited a Source D, who “had been present” for the supposed display, a Source E whom it described as “a senior (western) member of staff at the hotel, who said that … several of the staff were aware of it at the time and subsequently,” and a Source F, “a female staffer at the hotel … who also confirmed the story.”

An unidentified American who joined Dolan on the tour of the suite also told investigators that a hotel staffer wrongly told them Trump had stayed there, but “did not mention any sexual or salacious activity.”

Steele later told investigators that “Source D” was Sergei Millian, a Trump supporter and former head of the Russian American Chamber of Commerce who the ex-MI6 spy said was in “direct contact” with Danchenko.

However, Durham’s team reasoned, since Danchenko believed he only communicated with Millian once — a month after the “pee tape” allegations made the dossier — “it would have been impossible for Millian to have been a source of the Ritz Carlton allegations.”

“Thus,” the report concluded, “Danchenko’s statements to the FBI about having no previous contact with Millian were false, or Danchenko’s statements to Steele about Source D were false, or Steele gave knowingly false information to the FBI.”
