A federal judge on Friday blocked the Trump administration’s restrictive Pentagon press access policy, which threatens journalists with being branded security risks ​if they seek information not authorized for public release.

U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman said in his ruling that he recognized the importance of protecting troops and ​war plans but that it was “more important than ever that the public have access to information from a variety of perspectives about what its government is ​doing” in light of President Donald Trump’s recent “incursion” into Venezuela and war with Iran.
