Patel finalizes plan to close FBI's Hoover building in DC

(The Hill) FBI Director Kash Patel on Friday said the FBI’s J. Edgar Hoover building in Washington, D.C., will be “shut down permanently” after previously discarding plans to move the bureau’s headquarters to Maryland.

Instead, employees will report to the Ronald Reagan Building to occupy the former location of the U.S. Agency for International Development, which was dismantled by the Trump administration earlier this year.

“After more than 20 years of failed attempts, we finalized a plan to permanently close the FBI’s Hoover headquarters and move the workforce into a safe, modern facility. Working directly with President Trump and Congress, we accomplished what no one else could,” Patel wrote in a post on the social platform X.

But I'm not sure why.

Other than just a wrecking ball attitude toward a bureau which brought too much inconvenient truth to bear against Trump.
