Reporters from major news outlets left the Pentagon after refusing to sign new media restrictions imposed by the Trump administration, which aimed to limit unapproved information seeking. Only one outlet, One America News Network, agreed to the policy, leading to the confiscation of press badges from other journalists and raising concerns about press freedom and transparency.
