The Defence Department has allegedly barred press photographers from the Iran War briefings – after they took ‘unflattering’ photos of Pete Hegseth.

Two sources spoke anonymously to the Washington Post, revealing that the Defence Secretary’s staff deemed the photos ‘unflattering’.

After various news agencies published the photos, the staff members told colleagues they didn’t like how Hegseth looked.
