White House press secretary states Trump has full confidence in DNI Tulsi Gabbard following Joe Kent's resignation
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Trump has full confidence in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard during a Fox News appearance and press gaggle on Wednesday. The statement came after Joe Kent resigned from his position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, claiming in his resignation letter that Iran did not pose an imminent threat and that Israel pressured the U.S. into war. Leavitt called Kent's resignation letter full of 'false claims' and said Trump gave Kent a chance but he proved not up for the job.
