Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has implemented new policies to restrict communications between Pentagon officials and Congress. Under these changes, military personnel must now seek prior approval for any interactions with congressional representatives. This move comes amid concerns over leaks and aims to tighten oversight on staff communication. Analysts suggest that this crackdown indicates a level of insecurity within the Pentagon regarding oversight from Congress. As the situation develops, further updates are expected regarding how these policies will impact military transparency and congressional oversight.
