General Michael Flynn

General Michael Flynn is a retired United States Army officer who served as the National Security Advisor briefly in 2017 under President Donald Trump. With a distinguished military career, he specialized in intelligence and cyber security. Flynn became a prominent figure in political and national security discussions, particularly regarding foreign policy and intelligence issues.
