Barbara Starr Slams Pete Hegseth’s Media Crackdown at Pentagon: He ‘Should Spend More Time Thinking About National Security Matters’

EXCERPT:

STARR: "I’m not aware of any instance in which a reporter has accessed classified information in the Pentagon by moving through the hallways and going into classified areas. Hegseth is embarrassed. He’s embarrassed by certain events. He’s embarrassed by so much exposure to the information, classified by all accounts, that he posted on SignalGate (sic) about that air attack in Yemen. He’s embarrassed that information came out that he was going to meet with Elon Musk and brief him on China. You know, even today, as you and I sit here and talk, Ukrainians are bombing Russian strategic bombers deep inside Russia. Could be a response by Putin. Maybe the defense secretary wants to think — it's up to him — about spending more time thinking about these national security matters than the PR structure, if you will, of his press operation."
