Richard Clarke, former White House counterterrorism coordinator, said President Trump's behavior at Monday's summit was reminiscent of someone who was acting like a "controlled asset" for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Clarke said Trump is acting in a way that he thinks Putin wants him to behave.
"I have been very reluctant to come to the conclusion that he's a controlled asset, but that's the term we use in the intelligence community when we have someone in another government who, for whatever reason, does what we want them to do because we're bribing them, because we have something on them. He is acting like a controlled asset," Clarke said.
