U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi has reportedly relocated to a secure military base near Washington, D.C. following a wave of death threats believed to be tied to drug cartels and criticism over her handling of the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
According to reports citing sources familiar with the situation, Bondi moved from her Washington apartment to heavily guarded military housing within the past month after federal law enforcement officials warned of growing security risks.
The threats reportedly intensified amid several high-profile federal actions, including the capture of former Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and ongoing controversy surrounding the government’s investigation into Epstein’s network.
The move makes Bondi the latest senior official in the administration of Donald Trump to seek refuge in secure military accommodations around the nation’s capital due to safety concerns. Authorities say the decision reflects a broader pattern of heightened threats against high-ranking government officials from criminal organizations, foreign adversaries, and politically motivated protesters.
Several other prominent figures in the administration have also relocated to protected military facilities in or near Washington. These include top domestic policy adviser Stephen Miller, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, departing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Military housing has also been used by Army Secretary Daniel P. Driscoll and Navy Secretary John Phelan, whose Washington residence was damaged by fire last year.
The reports of Bondi’s relocation come at a politically sensitive time, as Congress intensifies scrutiny of the Justice Department’s handling of Epstein-related records. Lawmakers from the U.S. House Oversight Committee are preparing to call Bondi to testify about the government’s investigation and the release of documents connected to the late financier and convicted sex offender.
Committee chairman James Comer confirmed that discussions are underway to schedule testimony from Bondi as well as Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick in the near future.
“I’m in communication with them,” Comer told reporters, noting that the committee is working to bring both officials before lawmakers soon to address questions surrounding the investigation.
The Justice Department has not publicly commented on the relocation, and Bondi’s office has declined to provide details about the specific military base or security arrangements.
The situation highlights the growing security challenges facing federal officials amid a tense political climate and ongoing investigations that have drawn intense public scrutiny and international attention.
