Brennan says Trump ignores intel community at nation's 'peril'

Chicago (CNN)Outgoing CIA Director John Brennan says President-elect Donald Trump's failure to appreciate the value and importance of the intelligence community could put the nation "at great risk and peril."

"The new administration -- and any president -- needs to recognize that this is a challenging and dangerous world, and that the intelligence community and intelligence professionals can help to keep this country safe and protect our national security interests," Brennan told David Axelrod on "The Axe Files," a podcast from the University of Chicago Institute of Politics and CNN.

"And any president or administration that does not recognize that is one that is putting this country's national security at great risk and peril," he added.

Brennan was among the intelligence community leaders who met with Trump on Friday to present their report on Russia's role in the hacking of the Democratic National Committee during the 2016 campaign.
