Former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn predicted that not all 17 of the offices that make up the intelligence community will be present in two years.
"I can't imagine that two years from now we're going to continue to have the 17 Intel agencies," Flynn, a retired Army lieutenant general, said Monday on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "I just cannot see that if we're going to move this country forward in a way that needs to be moved forward where we're sort of that shining city on the hill."
There are 17 offices that make up the intelligence community, including the Central Intelligence Agency and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
Flynn argued there's been too much overlap and overspending of taxpayer dollars on them.
"There's so much waste in the intelligence community ... and overlapping ineffective and inefficient communication systems," he said.
Flynn also said intelligence agencies such as the CIA have strayed from their mission of protecting the American people.
