U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been living rent-free in a house on Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling that is ordinarily reserved for the U.S. Coast Guard’s commandant, according to an Aug. 15 Washington Post investigation. The arrangement is described by current and former officials as highly unusual because the five-bedroom Potomac River property is intended for the service’s top admiral, not civilian officials. A DHS spokeswoman said Noem moved onto the base after the Daily Mail published images of her previous Washington apartment in April, prompting security concerns and what the department calls credible threats. “She is no longer able to safely live in her own apartment,” spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin told the Post. The temporary relocation has drawn criticism from some lawmakers. Senator Chris Murphy, who sits on a Senate panel that oversees homeland-security spending, called the situation “an insult” to service members and a potential misuse of military resources. The residence had been vacant since January, when President Donald Trump relieved Adm. Linda Fagan as Coast Guard commandant. DHS has not said how long Noem intends to remain at the property or whether any reimbursement will be made.
