Frank Kendall, former Secretary of the Air Force between 2021 and 2025 during the Biden administration, is immersed in a very delicate mess because he was accused of allegedly disclosing classified information to a media outlet about Air Force One, the plane where President Donald Trump usually travels.

Due to this, through a message published 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 action follows his unauthorized disclosure to a media outlet of classified information regarding the capabilities of Air Force One.

The protection of classified information is a non-negotiable duty. Those who betray that trust lose the privilege of access and any position that requires it,” the text states.

Although Donald Trump recently presented the reconditioned plane that the Qatari royal family gave him as an alternative to replace the two Force Ones in which he used to travel, something seems not to have convinced him on his outbound trip to the city of Ankara, where he attended the summit of leaders of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and on his return to Washington he asked to use one of the old aircraft mentioned.

All of this happened almost simultaneously with the appearance of an article published by The New York Times about security concerns related to the new Air Force One.

To the data referred to later was added a report from the newspaper The Wall Street Journal, which compared the capabilities of the Boeing 747-8 donated by Qatar with the old Air Force One aircraft, emphasizing several delicate points detected in the most modern aircraft, such as its inability to refuel with jet fuel in the air and its lack of protection against nuclear explosions, characteristics that the planes that, in theory, it intends to replace do have.

The delicate thing at this point is that the name of Frank Kendall was among the sources consulted to reach the conclusion that the Qatari plane would require between three and four years of work to ensure that it meets the high safety standards required by an Air Force One.

Faced with what he considered a serious leak of classified information, the head of the nation ordered a thorough investigation to find the person responsible and, with the process still open, the government's first disciplinary measure has already emerged.
