Todd Blanche revealed living on military base as another Trump heavyweight joins growing Cabinet roster
Blanche’s military housing arrangement
Fox News Digital contacted the Department of Justice for comment. The arrangement places a senior civilian official in housing traditionally associated with military leadership.
Security concerns cited
The report describes security concerns ranging from threats reportedly tied to drug cartels to fears of Iranian retaliation. A separate source familiar with a move said security concerns grew after an online photo published by The Wall Street Journal made the location of a secretary’s Georgetown home identifiable.
That source said the official had to relocate to a military base for safety and urged news organizations to act responsibly amid threats against public officials. The article does not identify the secretary in that quoted statement.
Other officials in protected housing
The Times also cited backlash over Bondi’s handling of the Epstein files as a threat concern. The Justice Department disputed that explanation.
