WASHINGTON: The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is moving out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building in central Washington DC, FBI director Kash Patel has announced, reported Sputnik/RIA Novosti.
“December 26: Shutting down the Hoover Building. After more than 20 years of failed attempts, we finalised 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 said on X on Friday.
The FBI director specified that the Hoover Building will be shut down permanently and most of the FBI headquarters workforce will move into the Reagan Building once the necessary upgrades are completed.
