据直接了解该请求的消息人士向CBS新闻透露，卫生与公众服务部监察长办公室已被要求为联邦住房金融局主任比尔·普尔特提供临时安全保护细节。
美国卫生与公众服务部监察长办公室提出的这一安全保护细节请求并不常见，因为普尔特所在的联邦机构并不隶属于该部门。

两位消息人士表示，普尔特在要求司法部调查纽约总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯涉嫌抵押贷款欺诈后收到了死亡威胁。去年秋天，大陪审团对詹姆斯提起了起诉，但联邦法官裁定负责起诉的美国检察官被非法任命后，这些指控被驳回。
针对特朗普政府官员的可信威胁有所增加，促使越来越多的官员寻求安全保护细节。
本周早些时候，美国司法部证实，司法部长帕姆·邦迪最近已搬到一个军事基地。该部门否认了《纽约时报》报道中称其因处理爱泼斯坦案而受到威胁的说法，但未反驳关于她收到与贩毒集团有关威胁的报道。
普尔特的安全保护请求由联邦住房金融局代理监察长克里斯蒂安·施兰克提出。据两位消息人士补充，施兰克直到去年12月还担任卫生部门调查副主任。
施兰克于去年12月就职，大约一个月前，白宫解雇了住房机构当时的代理监察长乔·艾伦。消息人士称，艾伦的离职发生在他试图向检察官提供有关詹姆斯案关键信息之后不久。
住房机构发言人拒绝置评，并将CBS新闻的询问转介给该机构监察长办公室。
卫生部门监察长办公室发言人也拒绝置评。住房机构监察长办公室发言人未回应置评请求。
美国政府问责局正在调查普尔特作为住房机构负责人的行为。去年年底，参议院民主党高层写信给该办公室，要求国会调查机构审查“纽约总检察长莱蒂西亚·詹姆斯、美国参议员亚当·希夫、美联储理事丽莎·库克和众议员埃里克·斯瓦尔韦尔被转介至美国司法部调查抵押贷款欺诈”的情况。
历史上，卫生部门监察长办公室设有一个小的保护部门，为卫生部长提供安全保护。
消息人士告诉CBS新闻，去年，卫生与公众服务部部长罗伯特·F·肯尼迪的安全保护细节被移交给美国法警署，因为他需要大量特工提供保护，并且收到了大量可信威胁。
卫生部门监察长办公室目前为医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心管理员梅赫梅特·奥兹博士提供安全保护细节。由于医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心仍然隶属于卫生与公众服务部，因此由卫生部门监察长办公室提供保护并不罕见。
联邦住房金融局是2008年住房危机期间房利美和房地美被置于托管状态后成立的独立联邦机构，负责监管这两家机构。
本周，负责调查针对政府项目（包括医疗保险和医疗补助）欺诈行为的卫生部门监察长办公室特工被告知，普尔特需要一个临时安全保护细节，将由两到三名特工轮流工作30天，预计将在未来两到四周内开始。一位消息人士补充说，这一保护细节可能持续长达90天，直到联邦住房金融局监察长办公室能够雇佣自己的特工。据一位消息人士称，卫生部门监察长办公室将获得该安全保护细节费用的报销。
卫生部门监察长办公室过去偶尔也会为其他被任命者（除部长外）提供安全保护细节，尽管这些人仍为卫生与公众服务部员工。
最引人注目的是，在与新冠疫情相关的极右翼阴谋论抬头后，卫生部门监察长办公室为当时主持政府新冠疫情应对工作的美国国立卫生研究院传染病专家安东尼·福奇提供了安全保护。
福奇退休后，他的安全保护仍在继续。在特朗普上任第一周，他终止了对福奇的保护。
最近，一名马里兰州男子去年夏天戴着口罩、手套，携带疑似枪支出现在管理和预算办公室主任拉塞尔·沃夫特的阿灵顿家中后，面临未遂谋杀指控。
一些收到威胁的特朗普政府官员搬到了军事住房，包括国土安全部前部长克里斯蒂·诺姆和白宫顾问斯蒂芬·米勒。
编者注：本报道的早期版本称，住房部门监察长办公室目前为医疗保险和医疗补助服务中心管理员梅赫梅特·奥兹博士提供安全保护细节，但实际上是由卫生部门监察长办公室提供保护。本文已更新以反映这一情况。
Protective detail requested for housing official who asked for probes of NY atty general, Fed governor, Sen. Adam Schiff, sources say
Updated on: March 13, 2026 / 5:28 PM EDT / CBS News
The Health and Human Services watchdog’s office has been asked to provide a temporary security detail for Federal Housing Finance Agency Director Bill Pulte, sources with direct knowledge of the request tell CBS News.
The request for the security detail from the Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General is unusual because Pulte’s federal agency is not part of the department.

Pulte received death threats after he asked the Justice Department to investigate New York Attorney General Letitia James for mortgage fraud, two of the sources said. A grand jury indicted James last fall, but the charges were dismissed after a federal judge determined that the U.S. attorney who secured the indictment had been unlawfully appointed.
Credible threats against Trump administration officials have increased, prompting more and more officials to seek security details.
Earlier this week, the Justice Department confirmed that Attorney General Pam Bondi had recently relocated to a military base. The Department denied a New York Times report that listed threats related to her handling of the Epstein Files as a reason for the move, but did not refute its reporting that she had received threats related to drug cartels.
The request for Pulte was made by FHFA Acting Inspector General Christian Schrank, who until December worked as the deputy inspector general for investigations at the health department, two of the sources added.
Schrank was installed in December, about a month after the White House removed the housing agency’s then-acting inspector general, Joe Allen. His removal came not long after he made efforts to provide key information to prosecutors on the James case, sources familiar with the matter previously said.
A spokesperson for the housing agency declined to comment and referred CBS News to the agency inspector general’s office.
A spokesperson for the health department’s inspector general also declined to comment. A spokesperson for the housing agency’s inspector general didn’t respond to a request for comment.
The Government Accountability Office is probing Pulte’s actions as head of the housing agency. Top Senate Democrats wrote to the office late last year to ask the congressional investigative arm to examine “referrals of New York Attorney General Letitia James, U.S. Senator Adam Schiff, Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook, and Rep. Eric Swalwell to the U.S. Department of Justice for mortgage fraud.”
Historically, the health department’s inspector general has operated a small protection branch that provided security for the secretary.
Last year, the protective detail for HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy was transferred over to the U.S. Marshals Service because he requires so many agents to cover the detail and receives a large number of credible threats, sources told CBS News.
The health department inspector general currently provides a security detail for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz. The fact the CMS administrator’s detail is being provided by the health department IG is not unusual since CMS is still a part of HHS.
FHFA is an independent federal agency created in 2008 to regulate Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac after they were taken into conservatorship during the housing crisis.
The health department inspector general agents who investigate fraud against government programs, including Medicare and Medicaid, were told this week that Pulte requires a temporary protective detail that will entail having two to three agents work during 30-day rotations, several of the sources said. It is expected to begin in the next two to four weeks, with one source adding the detail could last up to 90 days, until FHFA OIG can hire its own agents. The health department’s inspector general will be reimbursed for the cost of the detail, a source said.
The health department’s inspector general’s office has in the past occasionally provided security details for other appointees, apart from the secretary, though they were still HHS employees.
Most notably, the health department’s inspector general’s office provided security for Anthony Fauci, the then-NIH infectious disease specialist who presided over the government’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic, after he received death threats amid a rise in far-right conspiracy theories related to COVID-19.
Fauci’s protection continued after his retirement from the government. During Mr. Trump’s first week in office, he had the protection for Fauci terminated.
More recently, a Maryland man is facing attempted murder charges in Virginia, after he showed up to the Arlington home of Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought last summer clad in a mask, gloves and carrying what appeared to be a gun.
Some Trump administration officials who have received threats moved into military housing, including exiting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and White House adviser Stephen Miller.
Editor’s note: An earlier version of this report said that the housing department inspector general currently provides a security detail for Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Administrator Dr. Mehmet Oz, but it’s the health department inspector general that provides Oz’s detail. The article has been updated to reflect that.
