The FBI is investigating former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent over allegations that he leaked classified information, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The probe reportedly began before Kent’s departure from government service.

Kent resigned Tuesday from his position as the nation’s top counterterrorism official, citing his opposition to the U.S. war against Iran.

In a public statement, Kent said he “cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war,” arguing that Iran posed no imminent threat and that the conflict represents a shift away from previous efforts to avoid prolonged wars in the Middle East. He also claimed that Trump was influenced by Israel to go to ar.

A senior administration official previously told Fox News Digital that Kent was a “known leaker” and had been excluded from intelligence briefings months prior to his resignation.
