A second Republican lawmaker has come out to say President Trump was "manipulated" by Russian President Vladimir Putin after the two leaders met in Finland.

Nearly a week after Trump's controversial private meeting and joint press conference with Putin in Helsinki, Rep. Brian Fitzpatrick, R-Pa., voiced concern about the commander in chief getting played.

"The president was manipulated by Vladimir Putin," Fitzpatrick told NPR's Michel Martin on "All Things Considered." "Vladimir Putin is a master manipulator."

Trump sparked outrage among Republicans and Democrats over his two-hour meeting with Putin on Monday sans aides or advisers. That was followed by his much-criticized comments during a joint press conference during which he cast doubt on the U.S. intelligence community assessment that the Russian government led a campaign to meddle in the 2016 election.

Under pressure, Trump made a rare omission of fault, saying he misspoke when he said did not see why Russia would have meddled in the U.S. electoral process. Still, Fitzpatrick, a former FBI agent who did counterintelligence work in Ukraine, said he was "frankly sickened by the exchange" between Trump and Putin.

Fitzpatrick's harsh critique follows that of Rep. Will Hurd, R-Texas, said in a New York Times op-ed last week that Trump is being "manipulated by Putin."
