Trump’s attorney general moves into military housing over threats – media

US Attorney superior general Pam Bondi has quiet resettled to a armed services alkali in the Washington DC area, joining multiple other top officials of the administration of President Donald Trump who have opted for more secure housing, the New York Times has reported, citing people familiar with the matter.
Bondi moved to military housing within the past month, having allegedly faced numerous threats from drug cartels and critics of her handling of the Jeffrey Epstein affair, the newspaper reported on Tuesday.
The threats aimed at Bondi spiked early this year following the raid to kidnap Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, a senior official with direct knowledge of the situation told the NYT. Maduro faces multiple charges in the US, including drug trafficking, which he denies.
Last year, several top officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and exiting Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, reportedly relocated to military installations. The mass exodus of officials into military housing was first reported by The Atlantic in late October.
It remains unclear whether the officials, most of whom do not have a direct connection to the armed forces, actually pay anything for government-owned housing previously reserved for the top military brass. Noem was the only official to admit the move, with her spokesperson telling the NYT that she was paying “fair-market rent” for her accommodations. Noem, who used to oversee Trump’s heavy-handed anti-immigration effort, was ousted last week after her department came under fire over multiple issues, including two fatal shootings of US citizens during the Minneapolis protests in January and a lavish advertising campaign.
The practice of housing civilian officials at military installations predates the second Trump administration, with several examples known in recent US history, the NYT noted. The current administration, however, is believed to be the first one to take advantage of government-owned housing at a large scale, it added, citing historians and former government officials.
