“I don’t think that Trump, when he meets with Putin, receives a task list for the next quarter. But I do think the president is compromised, that he is unable to put the interests of our nation first, that he acts from hidden motives, because there is leverage over him, held specifically by the Russians but potentially others as well.”
— Peter Strzok, in an interview with The Atlantic, on his new book, Compromised: Counterintelligence and the Threat of Donald J. Trump.
