The Pentagon announced on Friday that it has officially revoked the security clearance and eligibility for sensitive positions previously held by former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall. According to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell, the decision stems from allegations that Kendall made an unauthorized disclosure of classified information concerning the technical capabilities of Air Force One to a news organization.

While both reports confirm the revocation of Kendall’s access to classified materials and his inability to hold sensitive roles, the outlets differ in their characterization of the department involved. The Hill refers to the agency as the "Pentagon" and the "Defense Department," while Fox News refers to the agency as the "Department of War," a term that has not been the official name of the U.S. military branch since 1947. The reports are consistent regarding the core reason for the disciplinary action, specifically citing the leak of information related to the presidential aircraft.
