An overwhelming majority of reporters who cover the Pentagon are set to hand in their credentials on either Tuesday or Wednesday instead of signing a new mandated policy that outlets argue is inconsistent with freedom of the press.

The Washington Examiner is among more than 35 media outlets that have publicly said they will not sign the pledge. The reporters from those outlets will continue to cover the Department of War, but will do so from afar now. One America News Network is the only media outlet to publicly say it will sign it.
