| Kash Patel to shut down FBI Hoover building, move HQ across DC to Ronald Reagan Building | |
| 2025-07-02 | |
Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a Tuesday memo Patel sent to the FBI, notifying employees of the relocation, and stressing that it is "most cost-effective way" to serve the American people, Fox News Digital has learned. Patel, in May, first hinted that the bureau would be reallocating its workforce around the country, and would move agents out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, which opened in 1975. The FBI and the General Services Administration (GSA) have been looking at options for a new FBI headquarters for more than a decade, including locations near D.C. in Maryland and Virginia. "Team, the FBI Headquarters will be moving down the street to the Ronald Reagan Building, and the Hoover building will be shut down," Patel wrote in the memo, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital. Trump told Fox News Digital that the Ronald Reagan Building is "a wonderful building," and said the FBI is "a wonderful group of people." "The FBI will finally have the kind of building they deserve," the president told Fox News Digital. "Congratulations to Kash Patel, Dan Bongino and all the great people at the FBI." In the memo to the FBI, Patel said "After nearly 20 years of constant churn surrounding the matter, we’ve finally gotten it done," Patel said, adding that the move "will be the most cost-effective way to best serve the American people while most efficiently using the resources available to us." Patel told the FBI that he is working "closely with Congress and GSA" to make the move "happen quickly," but said there are "a lot of moving pieces." "We need to ensure our security and technology requirements are in place before HQ employees can begin making the move, in phases," Patel wrote. "Thanks in advance for your patience, and for staying the course." | |

| #8 The Cincinnati office is corrupt as well. You may remember how they posed as KKM at a highway overpass right after Trump was elected. |

| #6 Now they have a building to live up to. At least some of the worst of their bad apples are being found and removed, and there are adults in charge. Whether Director Patel and Assistant Director Bongino can take them all the way to the gee whiz G-Men of fiction remains to be seen — the long-standing corruption in the Boston office is also legendary. |

| #5 For the FBI to "finally have the kind of building they deserve" They would need a public pit toilet. |

| #4 For the FBI to "finally have the kind of building they deserve" they'd need a strip mall in Tulsa. With all due regards to Tulsa. |

| #2 I wonder how much pre-2025 hidden evidence & files will get misplaced, or leaked during the move? |
