The Pentagon on Friday revoked former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s access to classified material and accused him of leaking sensitive information about Air Force One to reporters.
“Effective immediately, the Department of War has REVOKED former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall’s eligibility for access to classified information and his ability to hold any sensitive position,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell announced on X.
“This action follows his unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a media outlet,” Parnell continued.
The newspaper reported concerns that the newly refurbished presidential plane hadn’t been “retrofitted with sufficient security measures” before it entered service as Air Force One.
Kendall served as the secretary of the Air Force between July 2021 and January 2025, under former President Joe Biden.
