D.Cole - A federal judge on Friday voided various parts of a restrictive press policy rolled out by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth last year, ruling that they trampled on the constitutional rights of reporters who seek to cover the US military from within its sprawling headquarters.
The ruling from senior US District Judge Paul Friedman is a major blow to Hegseth and Trump’s effort to exert greater control over press coverage.

It voids several provisions of the new policy that enabled the Pentagon to suspend or revoke credentials based on reporting.
“A primary purpose of the First Amendment is to enable the press to publish what it will and the public to read what it chooses, free of any official proscription,” Friedman wrote in a scathing opinion.
“Those who drafted the First Amendment believed that the nation’s security requires a free press and an informed people and that such security is endangered by governmental suppression of political speech,”
