WATCH LIVE: Department of War Holds FIRST New Media Briefing – 11 AM ET | The Gateway Pundit

Press briefing room at the Pentagon featuring an American flag, podium, and a screen displaying military insignia.

Department of War Press Secretary Kingsley Wilson will deliver the first press briefing to New Media at the Pentagon this morning.

This comes after the Department of War implemented new policies that legacy media reporters refused to follow, and a mass exodus of pitiful leftwing journalists ensued.

Members of the media were asked to agree to increased security protocols, including the wearing of badges that clearly identify them as press, and restrictions to certain areas within the Pentagon. The new regulations also prohibit reporters from soliciting “classified national security information” and “controlled unclassified information,” including law enforcement-sensitive information and some operational security information.

It simply cautions members of the media against soliciting military members and civilian employees to commit criminal acts, relating to leaking confidential information, which the Department reasons “poses a security risk that could damage the national security of the United States and place DoW personnel in jeopardy.”

War Secretary Pete Hegseth explained the new guidelines during a cabinet meeting in October, stating that the policy “simply says, maybe the policy should look like the White House or other military installations, where you have to wear a badge that identifies that you’re press, or you can’t just roam anywhere you want… or also that if they sign on to the credentialing, they’re not going to try to get soldiers to break the law by giving classified information. So it’s common sense stuff, Mr. President, we’re trying to make sure national security is respected, and we’re proud of the policy.”

“It used to be, Mr. President, the press could go anywhere, pretty much anywhere, in the Pentagon, the most classified area in the world,” he said.

White House Blasts “Sensationalist” Reporting Over Group Chat Leak: ‘No War Plans, No Leaks’ | The Gateway Pundit

Karoline Leavitt

The White House is firing back after a media firestorm erupted over reports that a private group chat involving senior Trump administration officials included a prominent journalist and exposed sensitive discussions about recent U.S. strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi militants.

The controversy centers on a report by The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, whose latest report claims 18 top Trump officials used a private group thread to discuss sensitive military actions, including the recent U.S. strikes against Houthi terrorists.

Goldberg, one of the country’s most notorious media hacks, sparked a media frenzy with suggestions that “war plans” were shared in an unsecured digital space.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt took to X to dismantle Goldberg’s narrative, labeling him as a ‘well-known purveyor of sensationalist spin.’

“Jeffrey Goldberg is well-known for his sensationalist spin. Here are the facts about his latest story:

1. No “war plans” were discussed.

2. No classified material was sent to the thread.

3. The White House Counsel’s Office has provided guidance on a number of different platforms for President Trump’s top officials to communicate as safely and efficiently as possible.

As the National Security Council stated, the White House is looking into how Goldberg’s number was inadvertently added to the thread.

Thanks to the strong and decisive leadership of President Trump, and everyone in the group, the Houthi strikes were successful and effective. Terrorists were killed and that’s what matters most to President Trump.”

Leavitt made it clear that not only was the communication entirely lawful, but the group chat in question played no role in strategic military decision-making.

In a separate post, Leavitt blasts the fake news media, writing, “As I said yesterday, the President continues to have confidence in his national security team, including Mike Waltz. Stories claiming otherwise are driven by anonymous sources who clearly do not speak to the President, and written by reporters who are thirsty for a “scoop.”
