FBI Investigates Kent Over Classified Info

0:00On March 19th, the FBI has launched an investigation into Joe Kent, the former director of the National Counterterrorism Center, overpossible. Misshandling of classified information, Kent stepped down from his top role on Tuesday in protest against the ongoing war with Iran. This probe was already underway before his resignation, according to sources close to the matter. Kent publicly argued that the conflict stemmed from outside influences rather than any direct threat from Iran. Kent and Trump quickly criticized Kent, calling him weak on security and saying his administration has no place for those views. Other officials, like CIA Director John Rackliffe, have also pulled away from Kent's stance. Kent, who once ran for Congress without success, has not commented publicly yet. Meanwhile, the Justice Department faces scrutiny for past probes into Trump's critics, which often fail to lead to charges. As this inquiry continues, it highlights tensions within the administration over foreign policy decisions.
