Meet the New Pentagon Press Corps

/

Last week, dozens of reporters covering the Pentagon staged a historic walkout, handing in their press badges rather than submit to restrictive new media policies promulgated by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

/

President Donald Trump is demanding that the Justice Department transfer $230 million in taxpayer dollars into his own personal bank account.
