A member of Maryland’s delegation pushed back on President Donald Trump’s comments singling plans to scrap moving the FBI’s headquarters to Prince George’s County.
U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen told WTOP that moving the FBI to a new headquarters outside of D.C. was about a decade in the making, culminating in a decision made by the General Service Administration (GSA) in 2023. Greenbelt is about a 22-35-minute drive to the FBI’s current headquarters in Northwest D.C.
“This would be a great disservice to the men and women of the FBI to try to change the current decision, which is that both for mission reasons and security reasons, the FBI headquarters should move to Greenbelt, Maryland,” Van Hollen said.
On Friday, Trump, while speaking at the Department of Justice, called for an end to the planned relocation, incorrectly stating the agency should not be moving “three hours away” to Maryland, what he called “a liberal state.”
