A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

The Pentagon revoked former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall’s eligibility to access classified information and barred him from holding any sensitive position, effective immediately. Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said the action followed an alleged unauthorized disclosure to a news outlet of classified information about Air Force One’s capabilities. The disclosure dispute centers on reporting about security features of President Donald Trump’s new Qatari-gifted jet. Kendall denied revealing classified information, saying he had been careful not to say anything classified.
