Attorney General Todd Blanche has been living on a U.S. military base since early 2026, according to multiple sources who spoke with NewsNation. The arrangement makes Blanche the latest senior Trump administration official reported to have relocated to military property amid mounting security threats.

The broader list includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, War Secretary Pete Hegseth, White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. The threats cited during President Donald Trump’s second term have included leftist and foreign threats, including threats involving Iran.

Blanche also receives executive protection from the FBI as part of his role as attorney general. The FBI declined to comment to NewsNation, while the outlet said it had also contacted the Justice Department.

Blanche’s predecessor, former Attorney General Pam Bondi, was similarly moved to heavily guarded quarters at a military installation in the Washington, D.C., area after receiving threats. Her relocation added another former senior official to the growing security list.

Available reporting does not specifically attribute Blanche’s military base residence to threats from Iran. Other administration figures, however, have been named in connection with Iranian plots, with recent reporting linking those concerns most directly to Bessent’s relocation.

The New York Times reported that Bessent left his home in the Washington area for a military base after Iranian threats against his life. The severity of the threats against him was not immediately clear.

U.S. officials concluded in recent weeks that Iranian plotting against current and former American officials had reached a more advanced stage. That assessment was based partly on intelligence concerning threats to Bessent, according to people familiar with the matter who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

Bessent has led the Trump administration’s economic pressure campaign against Iran since August. The campaign includes tougher sanctions and restrictions on trade routes under Operation Economic Outcast.

A senior administration official told Fox News, “The move shows that Treasury’s strategy regarding Iran is working because Iran is trying to get to the architect of that strategy.”

The official also described the seriousness of the situation surrounding Bessent and his family. “Threats against Sec. Bessent reached more than an advanced stage, which is why he and his family made the move.”

Security concerns involving Bessent increased after a Wall Street Journal article published an aerial photograph of the Georgetown mansion he purchased for $12.5 million shortly after his confirmation in January 2025. The photograph allowed the property to be geolocated.

One source familiar with the matter told CBS News, “After The Wall Street Journal published an article featuring an online photo that allowed the location of the secretary’s Georgetown home to be geo-located, security concerns began to increase which have now forced the secretary to relocate to a military base for his safety.”

That source also issued a pointed warning about the responsibilities of news organizations when covering public officials and their homes. “The news media has an obligation to act responsibly amid growing threats against public officials,” he added.

Other Trump administration officials had relocated earlier for varying security reasons. Rubio and Hegseth have lived as neighbors on Generals’ Row at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C., which is traditionally used for senior military officers.

Miller and his family moved into military housing in late 2025 after protests took place outside their Arlington, Virginia, home. Their address had been publicized before the move.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem also lived at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling following publication of details concerning her previous residence. The moves show the extent to which threats and exposed residential information have reshaped living arrangements for several current and former Trump administration officials.

Blanche’s military residence adds another attorney general to that security pattern after Bondi’s earlier relocation. While Iranian threats have not been specifically tied to Blanche’s move in available reporting, the danger facing Bessent had reportedly progressed far enough to force him and his family onto a military base.
