  (Reuters) -U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Friday issued orders that require journalists to have official escorts within much of the Pentagon building, the latest in a series of Trump administration restrictions placed on the press. The measures, which take effect immediately, bar credentialed reporters from most of the Department of Defense headquarters in Arlington, Virginia, unless they have an official approval and escort. "While the Department remains committed to transparency, the Department is equally obligated to protect CSNI (classified intelligence) and sensitive information - the unauthorized disclosure of which could put the lives of U.S. Service members in danger," Hegseth said in a memorandum.

The Trump administration implemented new restrictions on White House reporters, limiting their access to the West Wing and requiring them to leave the premises when not in use, as reported on Yahoo News on May 11, 2017. These measures were part of an effort to control the press and were met with criticism from journalists and press freedom advocates. The changes were seen as an attempt to limit transparency and restrict the ability of reporters to cover the administration effectively.
