Trump Trusts Gabbard Despite Security Shake‑Up

President Trump says he fully trusts Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, according to White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt. Leavitt shared this on Fox News after the resignation of a top security official over Iran policy. Joe Kent, who led the National Counterterrorism Center, stepped down as the first senior staffer in the Trump team to leave over the conflict. The resignation came after a disagreement about how the administration was handling the situation in Iran.Leavitt clarified that Kent had no role in planning or discussing the Iranian operation. She emphasized that Gabbard remains a key figure in intelligence decisions and that Trump’s confidence in her is unchanged. The move highlights the tension within the administration over foreign policy and security strategy. It also shows how leadership changes can affect trust dynamics among top officials.
