Donald Trump had secret server communicating between his organisation and a Russian bank with links to Vladimir Putin, computer experts claim

A SECRET computer server used by Donald Trump's campaign team was directly connected to a Russian bank, a computer whizz has claimed.

The Republican presidential candidate's team computer had “a sustained relationship between a server registered to the Trump Organization and two servers registered to an entity called Alfa Bank", an article in alleged.

But Trump's team furiously dismissed the allegations of a "direct link" between him and Moscow.

The businessman has been a vocal supporter of Russia's leadership in the past - leading him to be labelled a "puppet" of Vladimir Putin.

He labelled the former KGB man a "better leader" than US chief Barack Obama.

While Putin himself has hailed the former Apprentice host.

He said: "Mr. Trump, he has probably chosen his own method to get through to voters’ hearts.

“He behaves extravagantly of course, but I think there’s a reason for this, because in my opinion he represents the interests of that part of society – and it is quite big in the United States – which is tired of the elite who have been in power for decades.”

The latest allegations could prove damaging to Trump's campaign for the White House after he was accused of being a Russian "puppet" by rival Hillary Clinton in the third TV debate.

The Democrat has found herself on the ropes this week after the FBI announced it would re-open an investigation into her private email server.

The revelation saw beleaguered Trump receive a shot in the arm just seven days before America goes to the polls.

Barack Obama today refused to criticise FBI chief James Comey for announcing the probe - instead labelling him a "man of integrity".

Most bookies still have Clinton as a 3-1 ON shot to take the White House with Trump out at 11-4.
