Former National Counterterrorism Center director Joe Kent is receiving backlash after saying that, if needed, he will serve as a witness for the defense in the murder trial of Charlie Kirk.

During an interview with journalist Michael Shellenberger, Joe Kent said he questions whether the lone shooter narrative explains Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Kent shared, when he was the director of the National Counterterrorism Center, “The FBI was pretty forceful in saying we couldn’t investigate further.”

He later added that he could be called as a witness by the defense in the case of Tyler Robinson, who is accused of killing Charlie Kirk, after suggesting a foreign power may have been behind Kirk’s assassination.

When Shellenberger noted that his defense could assist Robinson’s defense, Kent responded, “Then, honestly, so be it. If it gets us to the truth.”

Per Yahoo News:

Joe Kent says he is skeptical that Tyler Robinson, who confessed to killing Charlie Kirk, was the lone shooter. That accusation could undermine the prosecutors’ case against Robinson. Kent says he knew of the risk before he decided to speak out.

The former Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent, says that the FBI did not properly investigate the assassination last fall of conservative leader Charlie Kirk. “The FBI was pretty forceful in saying we couldn’t investigate further,” he told Public. “I saw no action being taken.”

Tyler Robinson confessed to killing Kirk in a text message and a note to his trans-identified romantic partner. His defense team may now be able to use Kent’s allegations that the government is suppressing evidence and did not do a proper investigation to their advantage.

Kent said he knew that he might be called as a witness before he made his statements that a “foreign nexus” may have been involved in Kirk’s assassination. “I was definitely warned of that over and over again,” said Kent. “If I end up having to play that role, then I’ll do it. It’s not something I’m seeking.” When pressed that his testimony could help the Robinson defense, Kent said, “Then, honestly, so be it. If it gets us to the truth… That’s obviously the risk I’m taking.”

In response to Kent’s statement, Charlie Kirk’s longtime producer and now co-host of the Charlie Kirk Show, Blake Neff, took to X to vent his frustration with Kent’s comments.

Neff wrote, “Tyler Robinson literally confessed to his parents, was turned in by them, and has his DNA all over the weapon used to kill Charlie.

“But some people are so obsessed with hating Israel, the same thing they are obsessed with literally every day, that they will try to help a murderer get off so they can keep pursuing their daily obsession,” added Neff.

Andrew Kolvet, who also co-hosts the Charlie Kirk Show, said, “Joe Kent just crossed a red line, and it’s a massive betrayal of Charlie, his wife, his kids, and the entire TPUSA family.”

Shortly after Robinson’s arrest, the prosecutors released a probable cause affidavit detailing the evidence gathered immediately after Charlie’s assassination.

The evidence presented at that time was overwhelming.

Senior Aviation investigators released preliminary findings on what led up to the deadly collision between an Air Canada plane and a firetruck at LaGuardia’s Airport.

Footage of the plane crash shows the Air Canada flight barreling down the tarmac right before it collides with the emergency vehicle.

“Stop, Truck 1. Stop,” the transmission said. “Frontier 4195, stop there please. “Stop, stop, stop, stop,” an air traffic controller can be heard saying over the radio transmission.

WATCH:

The truck didn’t stop in time.

It is unclear if the driver of the firetruck hit the brakes or tried to maneuver out of the way before the collision.

According to CBC, the pilots who died in the crash were identified as pilot Antoine Forest from Coteau-du-Lac, Quebec, and co-pilot MacKenzie Gunther.

The deceased pilots were described as “two young men at the start of their careers.”

Aviation investigators revealed that the firetruck lacked a transponder so the tower couldn’t track the vehicle.

The Associated Press reported:

Federal investigators say a runway warning system didn’t trigger an alarm before an Air Canada jet and a fire truck collided at New York’s LaGuardia Airport.

National Transportation Safety Board chairwoman Jennifer Homendy said during a news conference Tuesday that the system didn’t work as intended because the fire truck did not have a transponder.

The plane carrying more than 70 people slammed into the fire truck while landing late Sunday night, killing the two pilots and injuring several passengers.

Most, though, were able to escape the mangled aircraft, and a flight attendant still strapped in her seat survived after being thrown onto the tarmac.

Sexual harassment in the British Armed Forces has long become a problem.

The Armed Forces Sexualized Behaviors and Sexual Harassment Survey, published by the UK Ministry of Defense (MoD) in November 2025, covered experiences across the Army, Royal Navy, and RAF.

The survey revealed that 67% of female regular personnel in the UK Armed Forces (and 69% in the Navy) experienced at least one form of sexualized behavior in the past 12 months.

One specific issue includes 32% of women reporting unwanted physical touching or groping.

But it seems that this sexual misconduct has become a two-way street, as a female sailor is being court-martialed for carrying out seven ‘opportunistic sexual assaults’ on male and female shipmates.

Royal Navy Seaman Sian Dowsett is standing trial at Bulford Military Court, accused of a string of sexual assaults against male and female colleagues aboard HMS Dauntless.

The Telegraph reported:

“Able Seaman Sian Dowsett, 25, allegedly groped four of her Royal Navy colleagues – two men and two women.

Based on HMS Dauntless, AB Dowsett is accused of grabbing the men by their crotches, stroking their arms, and making comments such as: ‘I like my coffee how I like my men, big and strong’.

She allegedly smacked women sailors’ bottoms and squeezed their breasts, on one occasion asking: ‘Do you like that, baby girl?’”

At Bulford Military Court, Dowsett was described as a ‘cancer on the ship’ by one seaman.

“Prosecutors said her offences ‘ranged from nipple-pinching to bottom-slapping and genital-grabbing’ but AB Dowsett denied the seven counts of sexual assault on the two men and two women.”
