特朗普总统的前反恐主管声称，他曾被阻止调查知名人士查理·柯克遇刺案。 乔·肯特于3月17日公开宣布辞去国家反恐中心主任一职，并表示他“无法昧着良心”支持美国对伊朗的战争。 柯克于2025年9月10日在犹他州的一次公开活动中遭枪击身亡。辞职一天后，肯特做客塔克·卡尔森的脱口秀节目，声称他对这起谋杀案的调查遭到阻挠。
“但我参与的调查，以及国家反恐中心参与的调查，却被叫停了，”他说。 肯特告诉卡尔森，枪击事件发生后仍存在“未解之谜”，包括柯克“受到众多亲以色列捐助者的巨大压力”的说法。
据肯特称，联邦调查局想“把所有证据都移交给犹他州当局”。 在他宣布离开特朗普政府的信中，他进一步声称伊朗伊斯兰共和国“对我们国家不构成迫在眉睫的威胁”。 肯特还表示，作为“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）运动的关键人物，柯克“极力反对”与伊朗开战。 在采访中，肯特还透露了他与柯克的最后一次谈话。据他所说，他们最后一次见面是在白宫西翼。 “他大声说道：‘乔，阻止我们与伊朗开战！’”肯特声称。“然后他就走了，我相信他去了椭圆形办公室。”
“所以，当特朗普总统最亲密的顾问之一，一位公开主张我们不要与伊朗开战，并至少重新考虑我们与以色列关系的顾问，突然遭到公开暗杀，而我们却被禁止就此事提出任何疑问时，”他继续说道，“这是一个值得关注的事件。” 肯特的辞职在特朗普的“让美国再次伟大”（MAGA）联盟中引发了震动，该联盟在对伊战争问题上已经出现分歧。
Joe Kent根红苗正, 11次参加战斗, 他媳妇在与ISIS战斗中阵亡

President Trump’s former counterterrorism chief claims that he was blocked from investigating the assassination of influencer Charlie Kirk.
Joe Kent publicly announced his resignation as the director of the National Counterterrorism Center on March 17, stating that he “cannot in good conscience” support the U.S.’s war with Iran.
Kirk was shot dead during a public appearance in Utah on September 10, 2025. A day after his resignation, Kent appeared on The Tucker Carlson Show, where he claimed that his investigation into the killing was blocked.
“But the investigation that I was a part of, the National Counterterrorism Center was a part of, we were stopped from continuing to investigate," he said
Kent told Carlson that “unanswered questions” remain after the shooting, including claims that Kirk was “under a lot of pressure from a lot of pro-Israel donors.”
According to Kent, the FBI wanted to “turn everything over to the Utah state authorities.”
In his letter announcing his exit from the Trump administration, he went on to allege that the Islamic Republic presented “no imminent threat to our nation.”
Kent also said that Kirk, a key MAGA figure, “advocated heavily” against a war with Iran.
During the interview, Kent also lifted the lid on his final conversation with Kirk. According to him, their last encounter was in the White House’s West Wing.
“And he said, ‘Joe, stop us from getting into a war with Iran’ very loudly,” Kent claimed. “And he walked off and he went, I believe, into the Oval.
“So when one of President Trump’s closest advisors, who is vocally advocating for us to not go to war with Iran and for us to rethink, at least, our relationship with the Israelis, and then he’s suddenly publicly assassinated and we’re not allowed to ask any questions about that,” he continued. “It’s a data point.”
Kent’s resignation sent shockwaves through Trump’s MAGA coalition, which has become divided on the war with Iran.
