Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is the latest Trump administration official to leave his home and move into military housing.

Bessent moved onto a military base after receiving death threats from Iran, The New York Times reported.

As Treasury secretary, Bessent has been at the forefront of the economic sanctions the U.S. has imposed on Iran in an effort to pressure Tehran into negotiating an end to Donald Trump’s deeply unpopular Middle East conflict.

In a statement to the Times, a Treasury Department spokesperson said Bessent “will not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats” and would continue to target Iran’s economy.

Several current and former members of Trump’s administration have moved onto military bases, often citing safety concerns.

Last year, it emerged that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio were living just a few doors down from each other at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. The pair moved into Quarters 8, a block of military homes usually assigned to three-star generals on the Army’s senior staff at the Pentagon.

Kristi Noem, the former secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, spent months living rent-free in the Coast Guard commandant’s residence at Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C.

Noem said she moved into the residence, which is normally occupied by the top Coast Guard official, after claiming she had received threats following the publication of photos of her D.C. home by the Daily Mail.

Other high-ranking MAGA officials who have lived in military housing during Trump’s second term include former Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Stephen Miller, whom Trump promoted to White House chief of staff following Susie Wiles’s departure after the midterms.
