The FBI announced Tuesday it would not be moving its headquarters outside of D.C., abandoning plans hatched under the Biden administration to move the bureau to the Maryland suburbs.
The bureau will leave the crumbling Hoover Building and instead occupy space at the Ronald Reagan Building — space that was recently occupied by the U.S. Agency for International Development.
“This is a historic moment for the FBI,” FBI Director Kash Patel said in a statement announcing the move.
“Through our strong partnerships with members of Congress and GSA, we are ushering FBI Headquarters into a new era and providing our agents of justice a safer place to work,” he continued, referring to the U.S. General Services Administration. “Moving to the Ronald Reagan Building is the most cost effective and resource efficient way to carry out our mission to protect the American people and uphold the Constitution.”
The move earned swift condemnation from the Maryland delegation, noting the selection of a site in Greenbelt, Md., after an independent review.
