Former Air Force Boss Loses Clearance Over Air Force One Tea
Turns out, telling the press that a presidential jet is missing its defensive gear is a quick way to lose your security clearance.
So, Frank Kendall just got his security clearance nuked by the Defense Department. Apparently, leaking details about Donald Trump's fancy new jet—specifically that it lacked the usual anti-missile magic—was a massive no-no.
The plane in question was a gift from Qatar, but Kendall went on CNN and basically said it was years away from being mission-ready. Talking about the vulnerabilities of Air Force One to reporters is apparently the fastest way to kiss your government career goodbye.
Trump called the whole thing treasonous, even though he later admitted the plane needed a serious hardware upgrade. It is wild that a multi-million dollar gift for the president arrived like a base-model sedan missing the important safety tech.
It takes a special kind of confidence to leak secrets while still being part of the inner circle.
