Former Secretary Accused of Disclosing Classified Air Force One Information
The Pentagon has revoked the security clearance of former US Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall, citing the unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities. Kendall has denied revealing any classified information, stating he has always been careful not to disclose sensitive details. The move follows recent security concerns over the new Air Force One, which was gifted by Qatar and underwent a $400 million retrofit. According to CBS News, the plane lacks advanced antimissile capabilities, prompting President Trump to use an older model for a recent trip to Turkey.
