Departing intelligence official blasts Washington Post article as 'hogwash,' says she supports Trump
Amaryllis Fox Kennedy said she's returning to the private sector to keep her "family financially on track," which aligns with emails she sent to colleagues explaining her reason for leaving as a top intelligence officer in the Trump administration.
maryllis Fox Kennedy, a departing top intelligence officer in the Trump administration and former CIA undercover officer, called a Washington Post article claiming she left her position over disputes with President Donald Trump's military involvement in Iran "hogwash."
"I stand with the President EVERY STEP OF THE WAY. And I will be at his side, serving on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board and the Intelligence Oversight Board with pride, devotion, and deepest gratitude for the coming two and a half years," Kennedy, who is daughter-in-law of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., said in a scathing post on X responding to the article.
The Washington Post article cited an anonymous source claiming she left her position as deputy to director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbarb in part over her disagreement with Trump's military involvement in Iran.
The article goes on to share an email to colleagues, which the Post had obtained, stating that she was leaving to return to the private sector in order to focus on her family. The Post noted that the email praised Trump.
Kennedy's post on X reiterated that her departure had nothing to do with any disagreements with Trump. She said she's returning to the private sector to keep her "family financially on track." She has a daughter about to enter college, and two younger children to education, she said.
