Laura Ingraham, on Joe Kent, suggests working against the president.
The FBI is investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over allegations that he leaked classified information, according to three sources familiar with the matter.
The probe predates Kent’s departure from government, sources told Fox News Digital.
The FBI declined Fox News' request for comment.
Fox News Digital has reached out to Kent by phone and email for comment.
Kent resigned Tuesday from his role as the nation’s top counterterrorism official, citing opposition to the U.S. war against Iran.
In a public statement, Kent said he "cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war," arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat and that the conflict marked a break from the administration’s prior approach to avoiding prolonged wars in the
Middle East.
A senior administration official previously told Fox News Digital that Kent was a "known leaker" who had been cut out of intelligence briefings months before his resignation.
It is unclear whether the FBI investigation is related to those concerns or to a separate matter.
Kent, a former Army Green Beret and
CIA paramilitary officer, was appointed to lead the National Counterterrorism Center in early 2025. He is a Gold Star spouse.

Trump’s Director of Counterterrorism Resigns In Protest, Blames Him and Israel For Iran War
The Director of the National Counterterrorism Center,Joe Kent, resigned this morning in protest of America’s involvement with the Iran War started by President Trump on behalf of Israel.
Kent posted his announcement on Twitter, stating he “cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.”
In his resignation letter to President Donald Trump, Kent expressly blamed foreign Israeli influence not only for the current war with Iran, but also for the disastrous Iraq war prosecuted under former President George W. Bush in 2003.
“Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wholly undermined your America First platform and sowed pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran,” Kent also wrote. “This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory.
This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the disastrous Iraq war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. We cannot make this mistake again.”
Prior to being elected president, Trump expressly criticized former President Obama about the possibility of attacking Iran. Trump has now carried out what he accused Obama of being weak for.
Meanwhile, Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has an active warrant out for his arrest for alleged war crimes from the International Criminal Court.
Is Kent right or wrong?
