Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has moved out of his Washington, D.C. home and into a military base, officials said, citing safety concerns that include threats to his life from Iran.
The relocation was reported by CBS News, which relied on unnamed officials. Bessent’s decision follows a broader trend of heightened security for high‑profile officials amid growing threats.
Officials confirmed that the move was prompted by Iranian threats, but no further details about the nature or source of the threats were released.
Relocating to a military base provides enhanced protection, including a secure perimeter and armed guards, according to standard protocols for officials facing threats.
CBS News correspondent Nancy Cordes has more on the story.
