Former Air Force Secretary says he'll sue Trump administration to restore his security clearance

Former Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall on Monday said he'll sue to force the Trump administration to restore his security clearance, which it revoked Friday after claiming he had disclosed sensitive information about the Qatari-gifted jet now serving as Air Force One.

Kendall, a West Point graduate who served as President Joe Biden's head of the Air Force, said on CNN Monday that he'll sue the administration, noting it has a history of retaliating against critics by stripping their clearances. “As my mother taught me years ago, you stand up to bullies,” said Kendall, who has...

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — The Buffalo Bills are responding to criticism over various issues at their new stadium — including partially obstructed sightline concerns -- by addressing them on a case-by-case basis, the team announced Monday.

The criticism stems from fans getting their first full experience inside the $2.1 billion Highmark Stadium during the Bills annual Blue and Red practice on Saturday night.
