Ex-CIA Officer Quits Intel Posts in Trump Administration
Kennedy said she is leaving to return to the private sector after two years in the administration, while critics cited tensions over Iran policy.
- Amaryllis Fox Kennedy, a top intelligence official and ally of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, will step down from two key administration posts this Friday.
- Sources familiar with the matter indicate her departure stems, in part, from her disagreement with President Donald Trump's military involvement in Iran, though Kennedy made no mention of the conflict in her resignation email.
- In a May 8 email, Kennedy told colleagues she is leaving to return to the private sector, writing, "Being a mom is God's greatest gift, and after two years on the campaign trail and a year serving in this extraordinary Administration, I have to make sure my family has all it needs."
- Her departure follows the March resignation of National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent, who also broke with Trump over the war in Iran, signaling broader tensions within national security ranks.
- Kennedy collaborated with Gabbard on national intelligence strategy, including efforts this year to increase Trump's intelligence budget request by 20 percent, though Congress approval remains uncertain.
