Overview
- Bondi moved from a Washington apartment to secure quarters on a local military base within the past month, according to the New York Times.
- Officials cited threats tied to drug cartels and anger over her handling of Jeffrey Epstein records as the factors driving the relocation.
- Threats reportedly escalated after the U.S. capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro in January, with details of the threats not disclosed.
- Other senior Trump officials have also shifted to guarded military facilities, including Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and Pete Hegseth; Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll and Navy Secretary John Phelan were also rehoused, per reports.
- The base location remains undisclosed and it is unclear whether relocated officials pay rent, though Noem previously said she paid fair-market rates for on-base housing; Bondi continues to face criticism over late, flawed Epstein file releases and exposed survivor identities.
