Karoline Leavitt on Joe Kent’s Resignation: He Accused Trump of Being Manipulated by Foreign Gov’ts, ‘That’s Laughable and It’s Insulting’

‘This was an individual who was not involved in any of the discussions pre-operation’

EXCERPT:

LEAVITT: "It’s been awhile since the president has seen him here at the White House. It’s been awhile since he’s been involved in the process of the presidential daily brief and he’s been actually present for the president’s intelligence briefings. This was an individual who was not involved in any of the discussions pre-operation and throughout this operation. I think the president views it as deeply unfortunate that this individual, who the president gave the privilege of working for the administration, put out this resignation on government letterhead with many falsehoods throughout, essentially accusing the president of being manipulated by foreign governments. That’s laughable and it’s insulting. President Trump has been remarkably consistent on this issue of Iran for many, many years, long before he ever entered politics. He has always said Iran can never possess a nuclear weapon.”
