> Even before the announcement, most of the Pentagon had been off-limits to the media for the majority of the second Trump administration, amid ongoing litigation over other restrictions the agency has imposed on reporters covering the U.S. military.

In October, dozens of reporters refused to sign an agreement placing limits on how they could gather and publish certain information. They were subsequently denied credentials.
