WASHINGTON (AP) — The Pentagon revoked former U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s “eligibility” to access classified information and barred him from holding “any sensitive position,” alleging Friday that he disclosed sensitive information about Air Force One’s capabilities to the media.
But he used an older model Air Force One jet to leave the NATO summit , as the U.S. launched airstrikes on Iran and Tehran attacked three Gulf Arab states.
Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell didn’t specify in a post on X which media outlet Kendall was accused of sharing classified information with.
“Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty,” he wrote.
That was the most consequential national security breach in years.
