Pisshead Pete broke the law.

Judge strikes down Pete Hegseth’s media policy

A federal judge has moved to block a policy implemented by the Trump administration that restricted news reporters' access to the Pentagon, declaring key elements of the new regulations unlawful.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman, presiding in Washington, D.C., sided with The New York Times, determining that the Pentagon's policy unlawfully curtailed the press credentials of journalists who declined to accept the new terms.

The New York Times initiated legal action against the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in December, asserting that the credentialing policy infringed upon journalists' constitutional rights to free speech and due process.

Pentagon restrictions on press violate First Amendment, judge rules

5 hours ago

A federal judge has blocked the Department of Defense's policy on how journalists access the Pentagon, finding that it violates the First and Fifth Amendments of the US Constitution.

District Judge Paul L Friedman ruled in favour of The New York Times, which had sued the department after it enacted strict controls limiting information reporters can gather and publish from the Pentagon.

Many media outlets - including CBS News, ABC News, NBC News, CNN, Fox News and BBC News - with a regular reporting presence had their access revoked.

The ruling halts parts of the policy, but kept some restrictions in place. The Pentagon said it disagreed with the ruling and would pursue an appeal.
