“The FBI will move its headquarters to a building complex blocks away from its current home in Washington, the agency announced on Tuesday, setting up an end to a drawn-out battle over the agency’s new home. The announcement officially scraps a plan approved in 2023 to move the FBI to Greenbelt, Maryland after lawmakers from Virginia and Maryland battled intensely to host the bureau. President Donald Trump signaled earlier this year his intent to keep the new headquarters in Washington, even as the agency abandons the iconic but run-down J. Edgar Hoover Building. The agency’s new home, the Ronald Reagan Building complex, previously included the U.S. Agency for International Development among its tenants before the administration gutted the agency earlier this year. The building also houses the U.S. Customs and Border Protection along with other government agencies and private businesses.” (07/01/25)
