Pentagon revokes ex-Air Force Secretary Kendall's security clearance over Qatar gift plane leak
The Pentagon has revoked former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall's access to classified information due to a media leak about the specifications of an aircraft gifted to Donald Trump by Qatar's royal family, according to Pentagon spokesperson assistant Sean Parnell, who announced this on X.
Earlier, several journalists from The New York Times received subpoenas after publishing an article claiming the new aircraft for Trump might be insufficiently equipped from a security standpoint.
