Pete Hegseth had "proposed evicting from the Pentagon a veteran reporter at NBC News who had contributed to some of the coverage," which "surfaced allegations of excessive drinking and sexual assault, which [Hegseth] said were untrue."

"The suit said that 'reporting any information not approved by department officials” could lead to punishment, 'regardless of whether such news gathering occurs on or off Pentagon grounds, and regardless of whether the information at issue is classified or unclassified.'"
The NYT argues that Pete Hegseth's policy “seeks to restrict journalists’ ability to do what journalists have always done — ask questions of government employees and gather information to report stories that take the public beyond official pronouncements.”
