NBC News earlier reported that "a dossier on Donald Trump’s psychological makeup is being prepared for Russian President Vladimir Putin."

The TV channel also said, citing Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov, that "the file is being compiled by retired diplomats and some of Putin's staff."

The Russian diplomat claims to have known Trump since 2000.
