Top Trump Official Moved To Heavily-Guarded Military Base Amid Serious Threats

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly been moved to a heavily guarded military base in the Washington, D.C., area after federal authorities flagged threats against her from drug cartels and others angry over the Justice Department’s handling of files tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The New York Times, citing “people familiar with the situation,” reported that Bondi was relocated from her Washington apartment sometime within the past month after law enforcement officials warned of potential threats to her safety.

According to the report, the threats began surfacing after the Trump administration captured Venezuelan strongman Nicolas Maduro in January. A senior official with direct knowledge of the situation told the outlet that the development prompted threats against Bondi.

Bondi has also faced backlash from critics over how the Justice Department handled the release of materials connected to Epstein, the disgraced financier whose case continues to fuel political controversy in Washington.

The Times did not disclose the specific nature of the threats against Bondi or identify the military base where she is now staying.

She is not the only senior Trump administration official who has reportedly taken up residence on a military installation for security reasons.

Other officials said to be living on bases include White House chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Army Secretary Daniel Driscoll has also moved into military housing, as has Navy Secretary John Phelan. Phelan’s Washington home was damaged in a fire last year, according to the report.

It remains unclear how much the officials are paying to stay in the government housing, some of which sits on historic military properties.

A spokeswoman for Noem previously told The New York Times that she paid “fair-market rent” for her accommodations last year.
