This decision is part of broader efforts to limit press access to the Department of Defense. Acting Pentagon Press Secretary Jose Valdez stated on social media, "This is the most transparent war department in history. No amount of spin from the Fake News media will change that." He explained that the reclassification was due to speechwriters from the Office of the Secretary of War sharing the facility.
