FBI probes former US Counterterrorism Center chief Joe Kent over alleged leaks

The FBI is investigating Joe Kent, the former head of the U.S. Counterterrorism Center, for alleged leaks.

Kent resigned from his position in 2020 amid controversy over his views on the Iran war. The resignation was seen as a departure from the Trump administration’s stance on the issue.

According to reports, Kent had expressed concerns about the administration’s handling of the conflict and had spoken out against it publicly. This led to a rift within the administration, with some officials reportedly taking issue with Kent’s views.

The FBI is now investigating whether Kent leaked classified information related to his time at the Counterterrorism Center. The investigation is ongoing, but no further details have been released.

Kent has not commented on the allegations, and it is unclear what specific information he may have shared that led to the investigation.
