Pentagon strips ex-Air Force secy of security clearance over Air Force One claim
Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall has been stripped of his security clearance and barred from holding any sensitive position after allegedly sharing classified details about Air Force One's capabilities with the media. The Pentagon accused Kendall of revealing information to the media, and the decision was announced by Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell on Friday.
The move follows reports about security concerns surrounding the new Air Force One aircraft, which was gifted to the US by Qatar and has undergone a $400 million retrofit.
