Pentagon Bans Press Photogs For 'Unflattering' Pictures Of Hegseth

The DoD barred press photographers from war briefings after they published photos of Whiskey Pete Hegseth that his staff deemed “unflattering,” according to two people familiar with the decision who spoke to the Washington Post on the condition of anonymity out of fear of retaliation.

Several outlets including the Associated Press, Reuters and Getty Images sent photographers to the briefing. But after they published photos, members of Hegseth’s staff told colleagues that they did not like the way that the secretary looked.
