(AP Photo/Mark Schiefelbein) Major television networks including War Secretary Pete Hegseth's former employer Fox News are expected to release a joint statement rejecting a Trump administration order that will sharply curtail press freedom at the Pentagon. The move follows a late Friday memo from Hegseth demanding reporters sign a new In-Brief for Media Members agreement or surrender their Pentagon access cards by Tuesday. The order forbids journalists from soliciting tips, photographing, or even sketching what they see inside the building.
