Pentagon will move press to external ‘annex’ following court loss over restricted access - The Washington Post

The Pentagon will relocate its press corps to an external annex following a court ruling against the Department of Defense over restricted media access. The decision appears to be a response to legal pressure requiring the Pentagon to provide broader or less restrictive access to defense facilities and officials for journalists. The move effectively separates press operations from the main Pentagon building, potentially limiting journalists' direct access to senior officials and decision-making centers. This development reflects ongoing tension between the Trump administration's Department of Defense and media organizations over transparency and press freedom. The relocation signals the Pentagon's effort to comply with court orders while maintaining control over which journalists and what coverage occurs within its primary headquarters.
