Maryland Sues Trump Administration Over FBI Headquarters Relocation

Maryland officials filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Thursday for canceling the previously approved construction of a new FBI headquarters northeast of the nation’s capital, arguing the action goes against federal law and congressional directives.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, along with other state leaders, lambasted the Trump administration’s plan to move the FBI’s headquarters several blocks from its present-day location in Washington to the Ronald Reagan Building complex, rather than to Greenbelt, Maryland. The Biden administration had selected Greenbelt as the site for the new FBI building after planning the move for years.
