US EditionJoe Kent says he was blocked from investigating Charlie Kirk's murder
Joe Kent alleges federal authorities blocked further investigation into Charlie Kirk's 2025 killing despite potential foreign links, while the FBI probes Kent for leaking intelligence.
- On Wednesday, Joe Kent, former National Counterterrorism Center director, said his office was blocked from continuing the investigation into Charlie Kirk's killing, one day after he resigned.
- In his resignation letter, Kent said the NCTC's role includes probing possible foreign ties, which initially led his team to pursue such leads, but efforts were halted.
- Charlie Kirk was killed on September 10, 2025, at Utah Valley University, and Tyler Robinson was arrested; Kent said his team flagged online posts suggesting prior knowledge of the attack.
- Separately, the FBI has opened an investigation into Kent for possibly leaking sensitive intelligence, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt called his resignation 'rife with inaccuracies' and 'insulting' to the president.
- Because of Kirk's prominence, Kent said unresolved online posts flagged by investigators warranted further inquiry, though he emphasized he was not drawing conclusions.
