Kendall Seeks Restoration of Security Clearance After Revocation
Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall announced plans to sue the Trump administration to restore his security clearance, which was revoked after he was accused of disclosing sensitive information about the Qatari-gifted jet serving as Air Force One. Kendall, who has denied the allegations, has hired prominent national security attorney Mark Zaid to represent him in the case. The Trump administration has a history of revoking security clearances from critics, which may be seen as a form of retaliation. This development was first reported by The Associated Press.
