White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt panned former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent on Wednesday, telling Fox News that his resignation letter was rife with inaccuracies and saying it had been a while since he played an active role in President Donald Trumps intelligence briefings.
I think the president views it as deeply unfortunate that this individual, who the president gave the privilege of working for the administration, put out this resignation on government letterhead with many falsehoods throughout, Leavitt said without describing the falsehoods. Essentially accusing the president of being manipulated by foreign governments.
Kent stunned the White House when he announced on social media that he was leaving the NCTC due to his opposition to the ongoing war in Iran. Tehran posed no imminent threat, and Trump, he said, had been duped by an Israeli misinformation campaign.
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, Kent wrote in the letter.
