According to The Washington Post, Amaryllis Fox Kennedy notified colleagues in an email on May 8 that she would be stepping down as deputy to Tulsi Gabbard at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence and as an associate director at the Office of Management and Budget.

Sources claim Kennedy dropped out of the role over disagreements with Trump's war with Iran.

In a resignation letter, she argued, "Being a mom is God's greatest gift, and after two years on the campaign trail and a year serving in this extraordinary Administration, I have to make sure my family has all it needs."

The news comes as a spate of Trump administration officials in recent weeks have either been fired, demoted, or resigned.

The president recently demoted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and fired Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Joe Kent, the director of the National Counterterrorism Center and top aide to intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard, resigned from his role in March in apparent protest to Trump's war.

A top attorney with the Treasury Department also recently resigned after the Trump administration announced plans to create a "slush fund" for allies of the president who feel they were wrongfully prosecuted by the Biden administration.
