Defense Minister Pete Hegseth switched dramatically and apparently the news media for reporting on leaks from classified and unadorned information in the past few weeks.

The changes announced by Hegseth have effectively inserted registrations in a corner on a floor of the building in which the press office and the rooms used by news organizations are accommodated effectively.

In order to go somewhere else in the Pentagon, including earlier areas that are occupied by the joint bosses and the press office for the joint bosses, reporters must request permission and accompanied by an official, said the memo.

Reporters are also prohibited from accessing the Pentagon Athletic Center and issuing new login information that specifies the words “press” on the badge more clearly. The current login formator contains the letters in regular size below.

In the memo, Hegseth said that he had added the most draconic access restrictions for decades to limit the number of leaks from the Pentagon.

However, it was not clear, like a limitation of access to not classified and not safe corridors in which military foreign military officers who were assigned to the Pentagon regularly run around, which would stop leak, which indicates that the measures were more punishable.

Hegseth has taken on a controversial attitude towards the news media since his arrival, even if a number of news organizations such as the New York Times, CNN, Politico and NPR were ejected from their special areas of work in the building.

“There is no way to gloss over it. Today's memo by secretary Hegseth seems to know a direct attack on freedom of the press and the right to know what his military is doing,” said the board of the Pentagon Press Association in a statement in which Hegseth does not hold a press conference in his first 100 days.

The Pentagon has been adopted since Hegseth von Lecks, and in March the secretary directed an investigation into at least nine separate information, which ranged from dirty personal stories to his use of signal groups and political consultations.

The examination also developed a criminal component after the US military allegedly provided information about flexible options for control over the Panama Canal, including sending troops, in news reports.

In the attempt to stop the leaks, Hegseth also fired three top helpers last month: his deputy chief of staff in Selnick, the senior advisor Dan Caldwell and the deputy chief of staff of Defense Minister Colin Carroll.

The shots seem to have had no effect on the leaks. The guard reported on the leak examination himself. Other sales outlets have reported on the leak of the Department of General in Hegseth's use of Signal.

In many ways, the new restrictions in the Pentagon are comparable in many ways with the limited access to the White House, where reporters take access to the press area, the briefing area and in the news organizations.

However, the Pentagon will be more restricted than other important agencies for executive branches, including the law enforcement companies, USSCH as Ministry of Justice, in which reporters can run around with a permanent badge on the first floor of the building.
