"The Pentagon Press Office has been redesignated as a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility due to speechwriters from the Office of the Secretary of War sharing the facility," Valdez wrote.
"These speechwriters routinely handle classified material … as a result, journalists will no longer be permitted to enter the office space. There's nothing controversial about that."
