WASHINGTON, March 18 (Reuters) – U.S. President Donald Trump has full confidence in Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told Fox News on Wednesday, after a top security official resigned over the war in Iran.
Joe Kent, who headed the National Counterterrorism Center, and is the first senior official in Trump’s administration to resign over the conflict, was not involved in any discussions on the Iran operation, Leavitt said.
