Judge grills Pentagon over restrictive press access policy amid court fight

A federal judge pressed the Pentagon over its new press-access policy after previously striking down an older version that vastly restricted reporters’ access, signaling concern that the interim rules—such as restricted hallway access, a shuttle option, a planned annex, and potential credential revocation for asking unapproved questions—could still violate the First Amendment. Defense officials argued the changes reduce leaks and improve security, while the Times urged swift restoration of access as the court considers the policy, with the judge requesting written responses by Tuesday.

Judge questions Pentagon's new press rules, calls them Kafkaesque

A ruling on the Times' motion remains pending and the court asked for a briefing on the policy's legal basis.

Leavitt Clashes Over Trump White House Ballroom After NYT Design Flaws Reveal

Karoline Leavitt defended Trump’s White House ballroom after a New York Times feature exposed architectural flaws such as fake windows, obstructed views, an unusually large rooftop, and stairs that don’t connect to the ballroom. The 90,000-square-foot space would be more than three times the size of the White House and could disrupt its symmetry, according to the Times’ experts. While supporters say the project is privately funded and needed, public comments to the National Capital Planning Commission are overwhelmingly against it, and a vote is set for early April.
