Trump officials have taken refuge in military bases for their safety.
Fox News:
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant is the latest Trump administration official to live on a military base. Attorney General Todd Blanche has also been living at the base since March. Marco Rubio and Pete Guest are also at Fort McNair, and White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has also been moved to military housing.
Dan Bongino, the former deputy director of the FBI, says that threats against protected officials at this organization have increased by more than 40 percent, and this year there have been about 10,000 cases of threats.
"The threat is so high that they can't reliably protect it unless it's on a military base," says Barry Donadio, a former Secret Service agent. Bongino also says: "It's not a matter of convenience, it's a serious issue." Some congressional representatives also asked about the costs and impact of these transfers on military housing. For example, Representative George Whitesides requested a report from the Pentagon, and Senator Maggie Hassan requested that $415 million of Secret Service funds be transferred to White House construction projects.
