Bondi Is Said to Move to Military Housing Because of Threats

Ms. Bondi is the latest administration official to move into heavily guarded quarters at military facilities in or near the nation’s capital after citing danger from criminals, adversaries overseas and protesters.

Other officials who have relocated include Stephen Miller, the president’s top domestic policy adviser and the architect of his hard-line immigration policy; Secretary of State Marco Rubio; Kristi Noem, the exiting homeland security secretary; and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Daniel P. Driscoll, the Army secretary, has also moved into military housing, as has Navy Secretary John Phelan, whose home in Washington was damaged in a fire last year.

A handful of officials have made use of military facilities in this way over the past several decades, including Jim Mattis, who served as defense secretary for Mr. Trump during his first term, and Mike Pompeo, who served as secretary of state from 2018 to 2021. Robert M. Gates, who served as defense secretary under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, lived in Navy housing in the Washington area for much of his tenure.

But this appears to be the first administration to take such widespread advantage of taxpayer-funded military housing to accommodate political appointees who do not have a direct connection to the military, according to former officials and historians.

The Supreme Court created a monster and those Justices who gave Trump unconditional immunity should be impeached for their decisions to give him blanket immunity. We know who you are. Justice beckons. Betraying the Constitution you swore to protect and defend is low, very low.

With Venezuela, Cuba, Iran, and on many other issues, these people may have to look 👀 over their shoulders for many years to come regardless of a pardon. The tax payer shouldn’t be on the hook for their security at that point.

But when tRump left office in 2020, he gave Secret Service protection to 14 of HIS family members for an extra 6 months
