A federal appeals court ruled on Monday that the Department of Defense may require reporters to be escorted while inside the Pentagon.
The ruling stays an earlier decision that had found the Pentagon's latest press policy too restrictive and overturned many of the department's press rules.
The decision allows the Defense Department to maintain these escort requirements while the Trump administration appeals the block on its enforcement of a press access policy. This ongoing legal fight was initiated in a case brought by The New York Times.
