00:05press rules violate First Amendment protections.
00:08The case follows a high-profile walkout by reporters from major news outlets after refusing
00:13to accept a 21-page rulebook that banned seeking or publishing unauthorized information.

00:24by reporters more sympathetic to the Trump White House.
00:28The Times is asking a federal judge to block what it calls unbridled and unconstitutional
00:33restrictions that it says deprive the public of critical insight into the U.S. military.
