- Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall plans to sue to restore the security clearance the Trump administration revoked, saying he didn’t disclose classified information about the Qatari‑gifted jet now slated for Air Force One.
- Kendall has hired national‑security attorney Mark Zaid, who has represented others in high‑profile clearance disputes and was himself targeted by prior revocations.
- The move fits a broader fight over revoked clearances and efforts to quash reporting on security concerns with the Qatar jet, including DOJ subpoenas to New York Times reporters that were later withdrawn.
