President Donald Trump's former top counterterrorism official who resigned over the war in Iran said his suspicion piqued when the FBI blocked his investigation into Charlie Kirk's assassination. Joe Kent, the former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, went onto Tucker Carlson's podcast to explain how he lost confidence in Trump, who he believes was duped into the war by Israel. His resignation comes at a perilous moment for the Trump administration, with the President himself breaking with Israel over strikes on an Iranian gas field that set the Gulf ablaze, sparking retaliatory strikes on America's Arab allies on Wednesday. Kent told the former Fox News host that Kirk's last words to him were: 'Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran.' Text messages from Kirk suggest he had turned against Israel in the months before his death, fueling conspiracy theories that his assassination was not at the hands of a lone wolf gunman. Kent suggested that there were foreign entities and potentially other domestic powers that were somehow involved in Kirk's death, but did not provide any evidence or explicitly blame Israel. Kent did say that Kirk 'was under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.' A law enforcement source familiar with the FBI's investigation into the assassination told the Daily Mail that Kent would often walk into meetings and make unsupported, outlandish claims that it was foreign actors who killed Kirk. #charliekirk #joekent #politics
