Donald Trump and senior members of his campaign have been “played” by Russian President Vladimir Putin and cannot be trusted with state secrets, according to Evan McMullin, a former CIA counterterrorism officer and independent presidential candidate.

“This is a man who is manipulated by Vladimir Putin. He would never get a security clearance. Never in 100 years would he make it through the first step of getting a security clearance,” McMullin told the Washington Examiner on Wednesday.
