Unfortunately, he is fighting the New York Times. Last Friday a federal judge ordered the Pentagon to allow the press into Pentagon briefings. Hegseth was angry at what he thought was critical coverage, so he had kicked out reporters from newspapers and tv stations he didn’t like. He did admit Laura Loomer, the pillow guy, and some right-wing podcasters. The judge told him he could not do that.
He then decided to hold press briefings outside the main Pentagon building and all journalists seeking entrance to the Pentagon must have an escort.
The New York Times is going back into court. Now if only Hegseth could win the war with Iran.
