Defense Sec. Hegseth puts new limits on press access at the Pentagon
Access to the Pentagon just got a lot tighter for journalists. Under new rules announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, credentialed media must now be escorted through much of the Pentagon—an abrupt shift from decades of bipartisan precedent. The stated reason: national security. Critics, including the Pentagon Press Association and National Press Club, say the move undermines transparency and the public’s right to know. The change follows other recent actions by the Trump administration to restrict press access across federal institutions. More restrictions are expected.
