Attorney General Todd Blanche has been living on a military base since early 2026, according to multiple unnamed sources cited by NewsNation.
The outlet reports Blanche is among a growing group of senior Trump administration officials who have moved into military housing, many because of security worries. NewsNation says the group includes Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, White House chief of staff Stephen Miller, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Sources told NewsNation that Bessent was recently relocated over concerns for his safety, including threats from Iran. The outlet says Bessent has led pressure on Tehran since August through stiffer sanctions and trade restrictions meant to starve the Revolutionary Guard of funds.
The FBI provides executive protection for the attorney general, NewsNation notes — and Blanche’s predecessor, Pam Bondi, was also moved to heavily guarded quarters at a military installation in the Washington area after she received threats.
The FBI declined to comment, and NewsNation says it has contacted the Justice Department.
All of this comes as the Trump administration gears up for an adversarial relationship with Congress, where newly elected Democratic majorities are likely to open a huge wave of new investigations into Cabinet corruption and other issues in the executive branch.
One senior aide to Blanche warned DOJ staff to get on “war footing” for the final two years of the Donald Trump presidency, as these investigations are set to ramp up.
