A federal judge has admonished the Pentagon for defying his previous court order in a humiliating ruling for Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Hegseth, 45, announced strict new rules last October that allowed the Pentagon to revoke journalists’ press passes. The revised rules saw journalists given access to the Pentagon only with government escorts and shuttered a dedicated workspace inside the building, moving them to an external library. Many news outlets surrendered their passes rather than agreeing to Hegseth’s extreme demands.
The New York Times and journalist Julian Barnes filed a lawsuit in December that claimed Hegseth’s selective media policy violated the First Amendment, Fifth Amendment and due process provision of the Constitution.
