The Pentagon has revoked the security clearance of a former Air Force secretary, according to The Washington Post and other news reports. The action removes the former official’s access to classified information and secure government facilities.
The reports link the decision to an alleged disclosure of classified information concerning the capabilities of Air Force One. The available accounts do not provide additional public details about the information involved or the circumstances in which it was disclosed.
The move has been portrayed in some coverage as part of a dispute involving Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and the former Air Force official. It also comes amid broader scrutiny of how classified material is handled by current and former government officials. The reports do not indicate that the revocation itself establishes criminal wrongdoing.
