Washington (CNN) – President-elect Donald Trump is looking at possible ways to limit the power of the director of National Intelligence, according to sources close to the transition.
The thinking within the Trump transition team is that the DNI often gets in the way of the 16 intelligence agencies it represents, which includes the CIA, the sources told CNN.
Trump has been a harsh critic of US intelligence agencies. He has been skeptical of the US intelligence community saying Russia was behind the hacking meant to influence the outcome of the 2016 election.
