FBI investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over alleged leaks

Joe Kent, the former Trump administration intelligence official who resigned this week in protest of the war in Iran, is being investigated by the FBI.

The probe predates Kent’s departure as director of the National Counterterrorism Center and centers on allegations he improperly shared classified information, Semafor reported on Wednesday.

A source familiar with the leak probe confirmed its existence to The Post.

Former White House deputy chief of staff Taylor Budowich alleged in X post Tuesday that Kent was “a crazed egomaniac who was often at the center of national security leaks, while rarely (never?) producing any actual work.”
