🚨Was Joe Kent Candace Owens’ mole in the US government, feeding her information about the Charlie Kirk investigation?
On October 1, 2025, Candace Owens said she was “very aware of what’s going on” and claimed that “about 48 hours before Charlie Kirk died, Charlie Kirk informed people at Turning Point, Jewish donors, as well as a rabbi, that he had no choice but to abandon the pro-Israel cause.”
She was directly quoting a message Charlie Kirk had sent in a group chat before his death - a message Candace revealed on her show a week later.
TPUSA spokesperson @AndrewKolvet revealed the next day, on October 8, that he was in the group chat and had taken that screenshot, and that, “to leave no stone unturned,” he had passed it on to “people in government” for the sake of the investigation into Charlie Kirk’s death, saying, “I don’t know where it went from there, apparently.” Pointing to the fact that it landed in Candace Owens' lap.
The New York Times reported on October 28 that Joe Kent, while still serving as director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center, had:
“examined FBI files in the last several weeks to investigate whether the man charged with assassinating Charlie Kirk had support from someone else, a foreign power, or another entity, according to multiple people with knowledge of the matter.”
Which, according to the Times article:
“alarmed Kash Patel, the director of the FBI. Mr. Patel and other senior officials believed Mr. Kent was overstepping, treading on FBI responsibilities, and potentially interfering with the investigation and the prosecution of the suspect, Tyler Robinson.”
After resigning from his role as director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center, Joe Kent appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show today. Speaking about the Charlie Kirk investigation, he said, “there’s still linkage for us to investigate,” and pointed directly to the group chat text messages that Andrew Kolvet had handed over to the US government - and that Candace Owens had used on her show - as evidence of that.
It was also reported today that Joe Kent is under investigation by the FBI for allegedly leaking classified information while serving as director of the United States National Counterterrorism Center.
Considering that Candace Owens had access to a private message tied to the Charlie Kirk investigation - a message that was passed to government officials - and that Joe Kent was, at the same time, reviewing sensitive case material, is now reportedly under investigation for leaks, and has himself pointed to that same message as evidence of a broader conspiracy,
The overlap is enough to raise a legitimate question about whether he could have been Candace Owens' source.
I reached out to Joe Kent for comment, but he did not respond.
