The Department of War on Friday revoked former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall's eligibility for access to classified intel after he leaked classified information about Air Force One to the media.
The Biden-era Air Force Secretary leaked sensitive information about President Trump's Qatari-gifted Air Force One jet to The New York Times.
Full statement from Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell:
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.

As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Trump announced that the Air Force One jet he flew to Ankara, Turkey, for the NATO summit last month would be visiting a US base in the UK. He went on to fly on a different Air Force One plane when departing from Turkey, prompting speculation of security concerns.

Revoke access to everyone who leaves govt. I don’t know how much simpler it can be.
Revoke access?? The seditious SOB should be jailed until he rots.
Should be Court-Martial for Treason and for endangerment against CIC.
Why is that not already happening?
Revoke access?? The seditious SOB should be jailed until he rots.
Agree! Why a mere wrist slap? So others will do/get away with the same?
Why should any former official or officer have access to any current classified information? What possible reason can that be needed for?
I was an enlisted puke, and when I left the Air Force my security clearance expired. Also had to sign an NDA. Don’t understand why they don’t do this for more “important” people. If they need to know, or they need to be consulted, they can be read in.
Frank Ken Doll? Sounds as if he is anything but frank. Did he leak to Bimbo Barbie Doll? (Yes, I know Bimbo Barbie is redundant.)

This clown goes way back with to hussein obama administration.
“Revoke access?? The seditious SOB should be jailed until he rots.”
This stuff won’t stop until the proper punishment as you specify is doled out.
Exactly. That’s the way it is with civilian jobs too. I, a quasi-retired programmer, no longer have access to any of my former employers’ data.
Should hunt down the rest of them as well
Security clearance revoked? Why isn’t he fired? Why isn’t he tried for treason and jailed? Why isn’t he put to death? Why wasn’t he fired on day 1 of Trump’s 2nd term?
“Why should any former official or officer have access to any current classified information? What possible reason can that be needed for?”
How about UNDERMINING Republican presidents?
Trying to get the President killed.
Precisely, what did he leak? Why isn't he being indicted and prosecuted?
We have a huge problem of those currently or formerly in government not being held accountable for crimes that would put you and I in prison. So sick of our 2 tiered justice system.
He leaked that the new Qatari AF1 aircraft did not have the full complement of equipment necessary to protect the president from missiles, etc................
Agree. Former government employees use the security clearance as a way to make money.
