Joe Kent, the recently resigned Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, alleged on The Tucker Carlson Show this week that his office was instructed to abandon its investigation into the killing of Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk.
Kent made the disclosure just days after stepping down from his federal post on 17 March 2026, and during the same interview he revealed what he says were Charlie Kirk's last words to him — an unsolicited, very public warning about Iran.
