Former National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent has accepted an invitation from Mark Levin to sit for an interview on his radio show this week, following his resignation from the Trump administration.

"Joe Kent, I would like to interview you on my radio show either tomorrow or Friday or one day next week.  For a full hour. I don't know how to reach you. Have your people call my people," Levin posted on X.

"Sure. Let's go," was Kent's reply.

That interview will clearly be a lot more challenging for Kent than the one he did on Wednesday, just two days after he announced his resignation. He sat for an interview with Tucker Carlson, whom he told that Iran doesn't pose an imminent threat.

“The Israelis drove the decision to take this action,” Kent told Carlson during the interview. Clips were circulated on social media soon after it was published. “Which we knew would set off a series of events, meaning the Iranians would retaliate.”
