Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated to a military base over concerns for his safety, including threats from Iran, according to the Associated Press. Treasury confirmed the move and said he would “not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats.”
Attorney General Todd Blanche has also been living on a military base, but since early 2026, NewsNation reported, citing multiple sources. The FBI, which protects the attorney general, declined to comment; NewsNation also sought comment from the Justice Department.
Bessent has been overseeing the administration’s economic pressure campaign against Iran. The Blanche report does not identify a specific threat behind his housing arrangement.
