President Trump’s former counterterrorism chief claims that he was blocked from investigating the assassination of influencer Charlie Kirk.
Joe Kent publicly announced his resignation as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center on March 17, stating that he “cannot in good conscience” support the U.S.’s war with Iran.
In an interview with Tucker Carlson, Kent stated:
“The last time I saw Charlie Kirk on this Earth was in June, in the West Wing.”
“He looked me in the eye and he said … Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.”
“One of President Trump’s closest advisors (Kirk) was vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink, at least, our relationship with the Israelis.”
