Detailed Analysis:
  • Claim:** Pentagon orders military to pull library materials linked to diversity.

  • Claim:** The order is the latest step in the Trump administration's broad effort to purge so-called diversity, equity and inclusion content from federal agencies.
    • Verification Source #1, #2, #3, #4, #5: *Fail to cover* this claim directly. While the sources confirm the order, they do not explicitly link it to the Trump administration.
