D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser and President Donald Trump are on the same page, at least when it comes to where the next FBI headquarters should be located.
Just days after Trump said he would work to prevent the headquarters from moving to nearby Maryland, Bowser said that she has long been in favor of that position.
“We have been supportive of the FBI relocation off of Pennsylvania Avenue, and that’s where we’ve been for a while,” Bowser said. “We do think that it will create a nexus with the rest of our vision for the Downtown.”
For years, federal officials have considered moving the FBI out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, which is in Northwest D.C. on Pennsylvania Avenue at 10th Street. In 2023, under the Biden administration, the General Services Administration announced Greenbelt, Maryland, would be the site for the new headquarters.
Trump has never supported moving the FBI to the Maryland suburbs, and on Friday, he made it clear that he would work to block it.
