Joseph Kent, the Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned. Political figures aligned with President Donald Trump came out to criticize the move. Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt spoke against Kent on X, but her tweet contradicted an earlier claim she made about the Iran war.
Leavitt responded to Kent’s resignation letter. She wrote in a tweet, “As President Trump has clearly and explicitly stated, he had strong and compelling evidence that Iran was going to attack the United States first.”
