Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly been relocated to a secure military installation near Washington, D.C., following a wave of threats tied to international crime groups and the ongoing controversy surrounding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
According to a report from The New York Times, Bondi was quietly moved from her regular residence in the capital within the past month after federal law enforcement officials alerted her team to escalating security risks. Authorities reportedly flagged threats linked to drug cartels as well as individuals angry about how the Justice Department handled records connected to Jeffrey Epstein.
The threats are said to have intensified earlier this year following the January capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro by U.S. Delta Forces during a high-profile operation. Officials familiar with the situation told the newspaper that Bondi’s security concerns increased in the weeks after that development, according to The Independent.
Bondi is not the only member of Donald Trump’s administration now living in protected government housing. Several senior officials have also been moved to highly secured military facilities in or around the Washington area due to safety concerns.
Those officials reportedly include Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, top domestic policy adviser Stephen Miller, and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The report also notes that Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll and Navy Secretary John Phelan have been placed in military housing as well.
Phelan’s relocation reportedly followed a separate incident after his Washington, D.C., home caught fire last year.
It remains unclear whether all of the officials are paying rent for the government-provided housing. However, a spokesperson for Noem previously said she paid “fair-market rent” for her residence in 2025.
A spokesperson for Bondi has not publicly commented on the relocation.
