FBI Director Kash Patel said in an interview with Fox Business that the FBI will leave its downtown D.C. headquarters. Mayor Bowser, Sen. Mark Warner and Rep. Glenn Ivey shared reactions. News4’s Jessica Albert reports.
The FBI will leave its D.C. headquarters and relocate 1,500 employees, Director Kash Patel said in an interview that aired Friday morning.
Patel said the FBI will leave the J. Edgar Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue NW because of its condition.
“This FBI is leaving the Hoover Building because this building is unsafe for our workforce,” he said on Fox Business.
“We want the American men and women to know, if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we’re going to give you a building that’s commensurate with that, and that’s not this place,” he continued.
Patel previously told senior officials of his plans to relocate employees, including to Huntsville, Alabama, a source told the Associated Press.
Finding a new home for the FBI has been in the works for more than 15 years. Under President Joe Biden, the federal government selected Greenbelt, Maryland, for the site of a new FBI headquarters in November 2023.
President Donald Trump said in March the agency would remain in D.C. Also in March, the Hoover Building appeared on a list of federal properties that could go up for sale. The list sparked confusion after it was revised, downsized and deleted within 24 hours.

I believe the FBI Building is a prime example of the Federal Government corruption and incompetence that exists in Washington DC.
from wikipedia-—A prime example of waste, fraud, and corruption. The building took 13 years to build and now after 50 years it is being deemed unsafe for people to work inside.
“””The J. Edgar Hoover Building is a low-rise office building located at 935 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C., in the United States. It is the headquarters of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
Planning for the building began in 1962, and a site was formally selected in January 1963. Design work, focusing on avoiding the blocky, monolithic structure typical of most federal architecture at the time, began in 1963 and was largely complete by 1964, though final approval did not occur until 1967. Land clearance and excavation of the foundation began in March 1965; delays in obtaining congressional funding meant that only the three-story substructure was complete by 1970. Work on the superstructure began in May 1971. These delays meant that the cost of the project grew from $60 million to $126.108 million. Construction finished in September 1975, and President Gerald Ford dedicated the structure on September 30, 1975.”””
is there a TRO yet?
During my working years I happened to work in this building in earthquake prone San Francisco and after 100 years 225 Bush St is still a prime office building.
from wikipedia-—
“””225 Bush Street, originally known as the Standard Oil Building, is a 328-foot (100 m), 25-floor office building in the financial district of San Francisco. The building includes 21 floors of office space, 1 floor of retail, 1 storage floor and 2 basement levels including the garage. It was the tallest building in the city from its completion in 1922”””
Get them out of town before the mid-terms. Take their families with them.
Not gonna happen; Judge Kazoo of the Northern District of Hawaii, appointed by Biden at the peak of his senility, is issuing an injunction against the move.
How long before Patel starts being “86” messages directed at him?
but it’s in San Francisco....... California, not America
It’s the ugliest building in DC. The quintessence of brutalist architecture
If the headquarters of the FBI is going to be moved, I would suggest perhaps Kansas City, Missouri, if for no other reason than to escape the “capital city culture” that tends to curb work ethic and initiative in the pursuit of justice at the Federal level.
From the middle of the nation, all points across the country are much more accessible than by confinement to the DC area.
Not the judge’s business.
Was it a legal necessity that Kash Patel make this kind of public announcement? Few, outside of Wash. DC would have ever known, except for this statement. I don’t know what proper procedure would be on closing such a facility. He may have expected, that as soon as the announcement was made, there would be a knee jerk reaction from Dems, judge shopping for the right activist judge to throw some kind of a roadblock in the path of relocation plans.
Actually, every decision passed down by any judge “appointed by Jow Biden” should be challenged, unless Joe Biden can remember doing the appointment. Any judge appointed by Otto T. Pen should be sidelined until a rational person does the appointment. And ALL of their rulings should be vacated.
Aren’t they going to Alabama?
Move it to Saline, KS. There’s nothing there but a truck stop and cows.
Also the probability that the deep state has the entire building bugged and wired for sound.
My parents bought their all frame one story five room house in 1949 and live there for 39 years. It was an excellent condition at that age and I sold it for $72,000 when it had an initial price of $12,000. Looks to me like They needed to be removed and rehabilitated.
What he said.
If this is the building I am thinking of I was in it once as a teenager on a very brief tour. We stopped by the shooting range. They were probably still carrying old Model 13 S&W’s back then.
Turn it into Section 8 housing and let the "government" of Washington DC have it.
