Tensions are running high in the country, and top officials in the Trump administration are feeling the heat. Several prominent figures, including Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem, have opted to live in military housing in the Washington area due to safety concerns. This shift has strained the inventory of housing available to senior military officers, and even some officials are struggling to find a spot.

Key Takeaways:

  • Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio both live on Fort McNair's "Generals' Row."
  • Army Secretary Dan Driscoll shares a home with a roomie at Arlington's Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.
  • The moves have created a strain on the inventory of housing available to senior military officers.
  • National Intelligence Director Tulsi Gabbard's team looked into Fort McNair earlier this year but did not move due to space reasons.
  • Some officials are competing with each other for the largest and most luxurious military housing.
