FBI HQ Closure & Reagan Building Move: Concerns Over Costs, Security, and Trump’s Involvement
The FBI is permanently closing the J. Edgar Hoover Building, its headquarters since 1975, due to safety and modernization concerns. Director Kash Patel announced the move on Friday, citing a scrapped plan for a new headquarters costing billions. The FBI will relocate to the nearby Reagan Building once necessary safety and infrastructure upgrades are completed. While most headquarters staff will relocate, some will be reassigned to the field.
