America's intelligence agents use 'psychological profiling' and manipulation to 'control the president', a CIA whistleblower has claimed.
John Kiriakou admitted the agency uses basic deception tactics against the commander-in-chief as he was probed about operations and 'deep state' agenda during a recent sit down on The Tucker Carlson Show.
He alleged that although the president appoints the director, the agency's long-serving agents are actually hold the power.
Kiriakou, who claims 'top level' agents 'really love' when a president-elect has 'no background in intelligence or foreign policy', said the CIA begins its efforts to control the president before he is even given keys to the White House.
'The day after an election the director of the CIA authorizes a president-elect to begin receiving a PDB - a president's daily brief,' he told Carlson.
'They go with this 16-page document marked at six levels above top secret and they say "Mr President-elect wait until you see the cool things we're doing all around the world." And they've sucked him in. They've made him one of the guys.'
Kiriakou claims agents eagerly feed the president classified information and then analyze his reactions to information they've provided.
President Donald Trump has long criticized America's intelligence agencies, claiming they are abusing their positions, inefficient and bogged down by bureaucracy.
