The resignation of Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, created a major rift inside MAGA as Kent clearly said the strike on Iran was the reason for his resignation, as he could not back the Trump administration's war. While Donald Trump and White House reacted positively to Kent's resignation as a 'good riddance', several MAGA insiders, including Laura Loomer, called Kent a 'leaker'. Fox News correspondent Aishah Hasnie claimed Kent was not allowed in any POTUS intelligence briefings in recent months as he was a known leaker.
The Fox News correspondent claimed, citing sources, that White House told DNI Tulsi Gabbard to fire Kent but she never did. Kent was not part of any Iran planning discussions, she said.
