Pentagon Bars Reporters From Its Press Office
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has repeatedly curtailed journalists’ access in the Pentagon.
The Defense Department has designated its press office as a classified space, off limits to journalists, further restricting interactions between its public-facing representatives and the reporters assigned to cover the military.
The move, confirmed by the department’s acting press secretary, follows a change in policy from earlier this year that required journalists to have an official escort at all times when visiting the Pentagon.
