Richard Clarke - Trump is acting like a "controlled asset,"

Trump is acting like a "controlled asset," former counterterrorism official says

"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.
