Frank Kendall, former Secretary of the Air Force during the Biden administration, announced that he will sue the federal government for having revoked his authorization to access information considered classified and also for making it impossible for him to hold any high security position in the Department of Defense (DOD), as well as in any other federal agency.

Last week, Sean Parnell, chief spokesperson for the Pentagon, shared a message on platform

“Effective immediately, the War Department has REVOKED former Secretary of the Air Force Frank Kendall's authorization to access classified information, as well as his ability to hold any high security position.

“This measure comes after the unauthorized disclosure to a media outlet of classified information regarding the capabilities of Air Force One,” part of the letter states.

An article published by The New York Times about security concerns related to the new Air Force One, and another that appeared in The Wall Street Journal, comparing the capabilities of the Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar with the old presidential planes, highlighting several sensitive points detected, produced an investigation that allegedly led to Frank Kendall.

During an interview with the CNN television network, the Massachusetts soldier stated that he had not shared any data considered to be of high risk to national security.

Frank Kendall mentioned having hired Mark Zaid as a lawyer and his objective is to set a precedent for the position taken by the Trump administration against him.

"I've noticed that an airplane that you spent a year and $400 million on is not going to be as capable as one that you spent five years and $2 billion on. That's obvious. I'm going to sue them. That's what I'm going to do next.

What happens to me is not of utmost importance. This doesn't affect me greatly. "I will lose some income and some opportunities, but this is one of more than 100 cases in which our government has revoked people's security clearances in a very arbitrary way, often for political reasons, as a way to attack political enemies, apparently," he said.
