Former counterterrorism chief Joe Kent under FBI investigation

Joe Kent, the former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, is under FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information. Kent recently resigned from his position.

President Donald Trump commented on the situation, calling Kent 'weak on security' and saying it was a 'good thing that he's out.' Kent has also made public statements about the 2020 U.S. strike that killed Iranian General Qasem Soleimani, claiming Israel forced Trump to authorize it and that Iran was not an imminent threat at the time.
