Ex-Air Force Secretary Loses Clearance Over Leak

1 hour ago 0

The U.S. Department of War has removed former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s eligibility to access classified information. This action follows what the department claims was an unauthorized disclosure related to the capabilities of Air Force One.

Immediate Action Taken

Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell stated on the social media platform X that the decision was effective immediately. The action also prevents Kendall from occupying any sensitive position in the future.

“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. This action follows his unauthorized disclosure of classified information regarding Air Force One’s capabilities to a media outlet. Safeguarding classified information is a non-negotiable duty. Those who violate that trust forfeit the privilege of access and any role requiring it.”

Implications of the Decision

Kendall, who served under former President Joe Biden, now faces restrictions due to his alleged disclosure to the media. The revocation underscores the importance placed on the protection of classified information.

Brittany Miller, a reporter for Fox News Digital and a Syracuse University graduate, provided coverage of this event.
