Later that day at 16:31 UTC, he addressed concerns regarding former President Donald Trump’s actions with respect to the military and the press. Pallone wrote: “Trump is threatening military action across the globe right as he shuts serious journalists out of the Pentagon and turns anything that remains into a propaganda mouthpiece. This should scare anyone who believes in government accountability.”
