A Senate panel on Thursday moved to let the FBI headquarters stay in Washington, D.C., rather than move to Maryland.
The Senate Appropriations Committee removed a Democrat-backed amendment to the Commerce, Justice, Science and Related Appropriations Act for fiscal 2026 that would have blocked funding for a plan by the Trump administration to relocate the FBI headquarters to a new site in D.C., local news radio station WTOP reported.
The committee last week approved Democratic Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen’s amendment that would have prevented the administration from using $1.4 billion in funding for any site other than Greenbelt, Md., which was chosen after a 15-year-long site review process.
The amendment passed after one committee Republican voted with Democrats to support the amendment, which was Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, who said at the time she needed more info about the plan to keep the headquarters in D.C.
