Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Former Counterterrorism Chief Joe Kent Under Investigation Over Alleged Leaks
Caption: Former Counterterrorism Chief Joe Kent Under Investigation Over Alleged Leaks. Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent is under criminal investigation over alleged leaks of classified information. Sources say the probe began before his resignation earlier this week. It remains unclear what specific information is at the centre of the investigation. Kent had stepped down citing opposition to Donald Trump’s war in Iran. He served under Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, whose office has not commented on the case. The FBI declined to provide details when asked about the investigation. Kent suggested efforts to “discredit” him were likely following his resignation and public criticism of the war. The case adds further tension within the administration as divisions deepen over US policy on Iran. Instructions: THIS VIDEO MUST NOT BE EDITED FOR LENGTH TO COMBINE WITH OTHER CONTENT
