In a stunning development shaking the highest levels of U.S. national security, Joe Kent – Donald Trump’s handpicked former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center (NCTC) – is now the target of an active FBI investigation over allegations he leaked classified information.
According to sources speaking to CBS News (the BBC’s U.S. partner), the criminal probe into Kent was already underway before his abrupt resignation earlier this week. Kent stepped down amid escalating tensions over the U.S. involvement in the war with Iran, publicly declaring that Iran posed “no imminent threat” to America and urging President Trump to reverse course on military escalation.
But the real bombshell? Multiple administration insiders and circulating reports claim Kent was specifically caught leaking sensitive classified details to conservative media figure Tucker Carlson. Sources close to the White House and Trump political appointees allege Kent funneled information about his own “unmasking,” potential CIA criminal referrals against Carlson, and other high-level intelligence – all in a bid to fuel public narratives critical of the Iran conflict and U.S. policy.
One well-placed source described it as a deliberate effort: Kent was “long suspected” of unauthorized disclosures and was deliberately excluded from key intelligence briefings in recent months due to fears he was feeding info straight to Carlson’s platform. The leaks reportedly created major distractions inside the administration, amplifying claims that Israel had dragged the U.S. into war and that Iran wasn’t an immediate danger – talking points Kent himself repeated in post-resignation interviews with Carlson.
The FBI’s criminal division is handling the case, and the investigation has been described as ongoing and serious. Neither the FBI nor Kent has commented publicly on the specific allegations of leaks to Carlson or any other outlets. BBC News reached out for comment but received no response from the bureau or the former official.
This isn’t just another Washington insider scandal – it’s a potential national security breach at the pinnacle of counterterrorism leadership. Kent, a former Green Beret and vocal Trump loyalist, was appointed to overhaul intelligence priorities, but his short tenure ended in resignation and now federal scrutiny.
Crime Vault Magazine has been tracking whispers of internal White House turmoil over the Iran war and media leaks. If the allegations hold, this could expose deep fractures in Trump’s national security apparatus – and raise serious questions about who else might have been compromised in the rush to shape public opinion.
We’ll continue digging as this story develops. Stay locked in – the vault is open, and the truth doesn’t stay buried for long.
