US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has imposed strict restrictions on journalists’ access within the Pentagon, limiting movement in key areas without official escort, in what the Department says is a move to prevent information leaks.
The newly restricted zones include the offices of Hegseth and his senior aides, as well as public affairs spaces for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Space Force across the Pentagon complex.
In a memo issued Friday, the Department of Defense said it “remains committed to transparency” but must also protect classified and sensitive national security information.
Journalists must now sign a disclosure protection form and will be issued distinct media badges. Violations may result in additional restrictions or loss of credentials.
The decision follows recent criticism of Hegseth for using the Signal app to discuss military plans related to Yemen with close associates, raising broader concerns about press freedom under the Trump administration.
