The Pentagon should not be in charge of what journalists can report on, President Donald Trump said on Sunday, in the wake of a new Pentagon ruling restricting reporters from sharing unauthorized information.

The Pentagon released policy guidance Friday requiring reporters to pledge they will only report information that is explicitly authorized for release by Department of War officials. If reporters fail to follow the guidelines, the department could revoke their credentials. The guidance comes after recently announced restrictions on where reporters have access within the Pentagon.
