Pam Bondi has relocated to a secure military base following heightened threats linked to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation and the apprehension of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.
The attorney general is now among the latest from the Trump administration to transition from private living quarters in Washington to a military site.
In the last month, Bondi vacated her Washington, D.C., apartment for an undisclosed military base in the vicinity, as reported by The New York Times.
A spokesperson for Bondi confirmed this move but urged the media to refrain from disclosing her exact location. According to a senior official, threats from drug cartels and critiques of her professional performance prompted this decision.
Bondi is part of a growing group of Trump administration members residing in military accommodations during his second term.
Stephen Miller, Pete Hegseth, and Marco Rubio, along with outgoing homeland security chief Kristi Noem, are also currently housed at government facilities.
Government officials living in military accommodations was extremely rare until recently.

The attorney general made the decision after an increase in threats following her mishandling of the Jeffrey Epstein case
Defense Secretary Robert Gates lived in Navy housing when he served under George W Bush and Barack Obama.
His successor Jim Mattis and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo did the same under the first Trump administration.
Noem said last year that she paid ‘fair-market rent’ for her home but it is not known what the others are being charged by the government.
The Daily Mail has reached out to the attorney general’s office and the White House for comment.
Bondi last week was subpoenaed by the House Oversight Committee to testify over the Epstein files.
Hardline conservative Republicans Tim Burchett, Lauren Boebert, Michael Cloud, Nancy Mace and Scott Perry voted with Democrats to compel Bondi to appear before the committee.
The Republican-majority Oversight Committee is investigating the Epstein files and the Justice Department’s handling of the case.
Bondi is the latest big name to be snared by the committee, which last week compelled Bill and Hillary Clinton to testify over their relationship with the pedophile and his co-conspirator Ghislaine Maxwell.

Do YOU think Pam Bondi should have moved into military housing over cartel threats?

The attorney general has faced fury from across the political spectrum over her botched release of the Epstein files, including leaving victims names unredacted while keeping secret the names of alleged abusers.
Bondi clashed with representatives at a tense House Judiciary Committee hearing last month, pointing to the Dow soaring over 50,000 points when pressed on the administration’s performance.
Bondi promised to release the files shortly after taking up leadership of the DOJ but the first tranche of documents she disclosed were already widely circulated.
Pressure on Donald Trump to release the full files ratcheted up last year, eventually culminating in the Epstein Transparency Act, a bipartisan bill that forced the Justice Department to publish the remaining files.
More than 3 million Epstein related documents were finally released at the end of January, including new mentions of Trump, as well as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Lutnick had agreed to testify after a new photo emerged showing him with Epstein on the pedophile’s infamous private island, Oversight chair James Comer announced on Tuesday.
Trump said last week that Lutnick was a ‘very innocent guy.’
Lutnick was subpoenaed after Rep. Mace threatened to force a subpoena vote against him.

Mace wrote on X ahead of the subpoena vote: ‘AG Bondi claims the DOJ has released all of the Epstein files. The record is clear: they have not.’
She called the Epstein case ‘one of the greatest cover-ups in American history’ and said that despite the DOJ’s latest release ‘we still don’t have the full truth.’
‘Videos are missing. Audio is missing. Logs are missing. There are millions more documents out there,’ Mace said.
Robert Garcia of California, the Democratic ranking member on the committee, said the public has ‘significant questions’ about the release of the Epstein files.
‘The attorney general has gone to speak, obviously, to other committees,’ he said.
‘I think it’s important that she is in front of our committee. She can directly answer questions about the release of the files, about transparency, about ensuring that victims and survivors are protected.’
