Former Air Force chief Frank Kendall says he is preparing to sue the Trump administration after the Pentagon stripped him of his security clearance over comments he made about the president’s controversial new Air Force One jet. Kendall now says he has hired attorney Mark Zaid, who has represented national security officials in cases involving security-clearance disputes with the Trump administration. Trump has used a jet gifted to him by Qatar to fly to Turkey, despite it lacking the security facilities needed for Air Force One. Frank Kendall was the Air Force secretary during the Biden administration. “Time didn’t permit all the normal Air Force One modifications, so some mix of security, communications, and support is missing,” Kendall told The New York Times.
