- The FBI has launched an investigation into Joe Kent, who recently resigned as President Donald Trump’s counterterrorism chief.

- Kent, a 20-year Army veteran, posted his resignation letter on X, citing his inability to support the ongoing conflict in Iran, which he claimed was influenced by Israel and its American lobby.
- Taylor Budowich, a former deputy White House chief of staff, hinted at the investigation, describing Kent as frequently involved in national security leaks.
