Treasury Secretary Bessent Moves to Military Base

By Townhall Chicago News Staff

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said he has moved from his home to a military base on Secret Service instructions.

Bessent discussed the move in a television interview with an interviewer identified only as Joe.

“I follow the Secret Service instructions and have moved from my home to a military base,” Bessent said.

A television commentator who introduced the interview said Bessent moved because Iran has “intensified its threats against senior officials.”

Bessent said the Wall Street Journal printed a photo of his house the day he bought it, and that the photo included geolocation data. He said the newspaper did so “in a highly irresponsible way.”
