The War Department has revoked Frank Kendall’s security clearance over reports about Trump’s presidential jet
The Pentagon has revoked the security clearance of former US Air Force chief Frank Kendall, whom it accused of leaking classified information about Donald Trump’s Qatari-gifted presidential aircraft.
“This action follows his unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a media outlet,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement on X on Friday.
“Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty. Those who violate that trust forfeit the privilege of access and any role requiring it,” he added.
The decision came after multiple news outlets reported that the modified luxury Boeing 747-8 donated to Trump by the Qatari government last year did not have the same security and defense capabilities as the older Air Force One.
