US Treasury Secretary admits moving to military base, rebukes Wall Street Journal for leaking residence information.
According to a report by CNBC on the 13th, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent acknowledged in an interview with the outlet that day that he had moved from his residence to a military base, and said that one of the reasons for the move was that The Wall Street Journal had published a photo of his residence that contained geolocation information. Bessent said he "moved from his home to a military base in accordance with the instructions of the Secret Service." "One of the reasons I had to move was that The Wall Street Journal published a photo on the day I bought my house that could identify the geographic location of my residence. We pleaded with the editor not to publish the location of my house, but she did so anyway. Extremely irresponsible, and very dangerous. This kind of thing must stop," Bessent said. According to the report, Bessent also said that the Iranian leadership had "issued death threats" against him, "which means that the 'economic isolation' campaign we launched is working."
