Trump election

The agents, whose names have not been released, are alleged to have sent stolen Democratic emails to WikiLeaks to try to swing the vote for Mr Trump.

Russia denies any involvement and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange says Moscow was not the source.

Intelligence officials are due to brief Mr Trump, who doubts the claims, later.

The request was filed by Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein.

Dr Stein has also pledged to file vote recounts in Michigan and Pennsylvania.

A win by Hillary Clinton in Wisconsin alone would not overturn Mr Trump's lead - it provides only 10 votes in the crucial electoral college that gave him victory in the 8 November election.

But wins in Wisconsin, Michigan (16 electoral votes) and Pennsylvania (20 electoral votes) would have clinched the presidency for the Democrat.

The ministers said they needed to know details of the US president-elect's plans but said they expected good ties.

The talks took place at a dinner in Brussels on Sunday, on the eve of a formal meeting of foreign ministers.

Ministers from Britain, France and Hungary did not attend on Sunday.

"We are looking forward to a very strong partnership with the next [US] administration," EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini said.

"We have decided together to engage with the incoming administration even from this very first week of transition," she added.

James Comey's announcement of a new inquiry into her use of email while secretary of state shortly before election day had stopped her campaign's momentum, Mrs Clinton said.

The Democratic candidate was speaking to top party donors in a phone call, which was leaked to the media.

Protests are continuing against the victory of her rival, Donald Trump.

In New York, about 2,000 marchers headed for the skyscraper where the president-elect lives, shouting "not my president".

"We are ready to welcome him with open arms," Antonio Cerio, the mayor of Ferrazzano, told local media.

De Niro has used strong language to describe Mr Trump, saying he would like "to punch him in the face".

The actor's ancestors emigrated from Ferrazzano in 1890.

Nowadays the little town is home to 3,000 residents, and appears ready to welcome one more.

"We will need to teach the president-elect what Europe is and how it works," Mr Juncker told students in Luxembourg.

The Commission chief predicted that two years would be wasted while Mr Trump "tours a world he doesn't know".

His remarks contrasted with other EU leaders' more muted reaction to the Tuesday's shock election result.

American cities have seen angry protests since Mr Trump's election victory over the Democratic candidate, Hillary Clinton.
