The reported FBI investigation into former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent is nothing more than a politically motivated charade, according to Kent himself. Per Newsweek, he claims the probe is an attempt to distract from the Trump administration’s real reasons for going to war with Iran and is being used to “steal the narrative” away from criticism of the conflict.
Kent, who recently resigned over the Iran war, made these remarks on The Megyn Kelly Show. He was directly addressing reports that the FBI is investigating him for allegedly leaking classified information. The entire situation, from Kent’s position to his public break with the administration and now the probe, raises questions about internal dissent and the credibility of the war’s stated justifications.
