The FBI headquarters is leaving the J. Edgar Hoover Building on Pennsylvania Avenue in D.C., according to the bureau’s director, Kash Patel.
Patel, who made the announcement in a short clip Friday on Fox’s Mornings with Maria, called the building “unsafe for our workforce.”
The move would transfer 1,500 employees to various locations across the country.
“The FBI has 38,000 when we’re fully manned, which we’re not. In the national capital region, in the 50-mile radius around Washington, D.C., there were 11,000 FBI employees. That’s like a third of the workforce. A third of the crime doesn’t happen here, so we’re taking 1,500 of those folks and moving them out,” Patel told Fox.
