WASHINGTON, D.C. — Heightened security concerns are forcing some of President Donald Trump’s most senior administration officials into heavily guarded military housing as threats linked to Iran, drug cartels and political violence raise national security alarms. Attorney General Todd Blanche has reportedly been living at a military installation near Washington, D.C., for several months, according to Fox News Digital. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller are also among officials reportedly relocated to military installations or protected government housing. Bessent’s relocation follows reported Iranian threats, while the specific reason behind Blanche’s move remains undisclosed. The developments have placed senior civilian officials inside military facilities traditionally reserved for military leadership, including the historic Fort McNair in Washington. The growing list raises serious questions about the level of threats facing America’s political leadership and whether extraordinary security arrangements are becoming the new normal in Washington.
