WHAT HAPPENED
Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall announced on Monday that he will file a lawsuit to compel the Trump administration to restore his security clearance, which was revoked on Friday after the administration claimed he had disclosed classified information about the Qatari‑gifted jet now serving as Air Force One.
Kendall, a West Point graduate who led the Air Force under President Joe Biden, said on CNN that he denies any wrongdoing and that the clearance revocation is an example of the Trump administration’s pattern of retaliation against critics. He has retained national security attorney Mark Zaid—who previously sued the administration after his own clearance was revoked—and Zaid confirmed Kendall’s engagement in a post on X, adding that more will follow.
The dispute centers on the administration’s decision to strip Kendall’s clearance over alleged disclosures, a move that echoes other cases in which former officials have alleged the administration used clearance revocation as a political weapon.
- Kendall will sue the Trump administration to restore a clearance revoked after claims of disclosing classified info about Air Force One.
- He denies wrongdoing and cites a history of retaliatory revocations by the Trump administration.
- Attorney Mark Zaid, known for representing clients facing clearance removal, has confirmed Kendall’s hiring.
