NYT sues Pentagon over access

The New York Times has filed its second lawsuit against the Department of Defense in recent months, challenging a policy that requires journalists to have official escorts at the Pentagon.

The publication argues the rule is unconstitutional and retaliatory, further restricting press freedom.

The lawsuit comes amid growing tensions between the Trump administration and major media outlets over access to government officials.

Legal experts say the case could have significant implications for the First Amendment rights of journalists covering national security.
