The Defense Department will no longer allow media organizations to keep offices in the Pentagon building after a federal judge ruled that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth had improperly revoked credentials for dozens of them.

The Pentagon will close what’s known as the Correspondents’ Corridor after deciding that access to the building in Arlington, Virginia, “cannot be responsibly maintained without the ability to screen credential holders for security risks,” department spokesman Sean Parnell announced on X.
