Summary
More recently, a federal judge sentenced a Massachusetts Air National Guard member to 15 years in prison in 2024 for leaking classified military documents about the war in Ukraine. The aircraft underwent a $400 million retrofit and has been used domestically, while US president Donald Trump also flew on it to Turkey last month. “I’ve always been extremely careful to not say anything classified, and as far as I know I have not,” Kendall told AP, adding, “No one has said anything to me about what I’m asserted to have revealed and I can’t imagine what it could be.” The Times reported last month that the new aircraft lacked some of the advanced security features of the older Air Force One jets. But he used an older model Air Force One jet to leave the NATO summit, as the U.S. launched airstrikes on Iran and Tehran attacked three Gulf Arab states.
Furthermore, The Obama administration had charged former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden after he leaked US surveillance secrets and fled to Russia. Kendall told news agency AP late Friday that he was “completely mystified” by the revocation. U.S. officials previously told CBS News that Mr. Trump returned on the old Air Force One following a credible threat to the president from Iran and allied proxy groups.
In addition, Parnell didn't specify which media outlet Kendall was accused of sharing classified information with.
