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.

1) being FORMER he should not have had access
2) He should be in JAIL.
Agreed. I’m sick of these little slap on the wrist consequences.
Why not an automatic Revoke, on all Obama & Biden appointees?
Figures. They’re all traitors and nothing will happen.
Seems reasonable to me.
His current retirement checks should be revoked as well.
What this means also, is that it’s probably true that Trump lost his temper at Hegseth on the plane, and that certain munitions supplies are dangerously low.

How exactly do you come to those two conclusions?
Sure makes sense to me. Then let them reapply and task the VP with making the final decision. He needs something to do.
interesting that that the top AF honcho was the leaker ... i just assumed it was some low level AF guy, like the guy who sweeps out AF1 after it lands ...
Duh. Anyone Biden, or Obama era, should be fired.
At a minimum, the perp should be sitting in a prison cell until the plane is fully operational. And fined for any costs incurred because of his actions; costs to substitute other aircraft, additional costs to speed up the timeline, etc.
Me too, rightly so.
What is wrong with prison or execution for this traitor?
No it doesn’t, but nice try.
Unauthorized disclosure of classified information.
Leavenworth prison
Heh. This is big news.
