Bondi's also faced intense public criticism over how she's handled the Epstein investigation.

A spokesman for Bondi did not comment on the matter.

She is the latest Trump administration official to move into heavily guarded quarters at military facilities after citing danger from foreign adversaries, criminals, and protesters.

One of President Trump's top advisors, Stephen Miller, moved to a military base.

So did Secretary of State Marco Rubio and the outgoing Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem.

While members of past administrations have done that too, historians and former officials say the Trump administration is the first to provide this for so many political appointees with no direct connection to the military.

It's unclear how much, if anything, officials are paying to live in the taxpayer-funded accommodations.

A spokesperson for Nome said she was paying, quote, fair market rent for the housing last year.

Across the country, homeowners are almost always required to get insurance when they buy a house and get a mortgage.

How much they pay for that can vary wildly based on location, risks like flooding, fire, etc.

But new research shows just how much people's credit scores are also driving insurance rates way, way up.

Two recent studies found that American homeowners with weaker credit histories, usually from things like missed payments or having a lot of debt, now pay significantly more for home insurance.

For example, two friends in northern Minnesota bought nearly identical houses in the same neighborhood.

The friend with the higher credit score pays about $1,200 a year for her insurance premium.

The friend with the lower credit score pays about $2,900.

Overall, across the U.S., people with what are deemed fair credit scores are often paying double what people with excellent scores are paying.

In some places, the disparity can be even higher, with people who have poor credit paying up to 12 times more for certain policies, according to an advocacy group.

Insurers have argued that it's worth considering credit history because people with low scores tend to file more claims, likely because they have less income, so when their homes get damaged, they can't pay out of pocket.

But a handful of states, including California and Massachusetts, have limited or banned insurers from using credit data out of concerns about fairness and the potential for discrimination against low-income Americans and people of color.

An insurance expert at a consumer advocacy group told The Times, quote, when the government and the financial system mandate that we buy a product, there's a special obligation to make sure the pricing is fair.
