Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was quietly moved to a military base because of Iranian threats, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.

"After The Wall Street Journal published an article featuring an online photo that allowed the location of the Secretary’s Georgetown home to be geo-located, security concerns began to increase which have now forced the Secretary to relocate to a military base for his safety," a source told ABC News. "The news media has an obligation to act responsibly amid growing threats against public officials."

The Secret Service, which protects Bessent, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
