GOP senators appear to have deal to allow FBI to stay in DC
WASHINGTON D.C., JUL 17 – The Senate panel removed a $1.4 billion funding block after a 15-year site review, allowing the FBI to stay in D.C. following bipartisan negotiations and shifting senatorial support.
- On Thursday, a Senate panel removed the funding block tied to the FBI headquarters relocation plan.
- Last week, Maryland U.S. Sen. Chris Van Hollen saw his amendment approved to reserve $1.4 billion for the Greenbelt site, reflecting a 15-year review.
- Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski said she couldn’t let the broader legislation fail over the FBI’s location after meeting FBI Director Kash Patel, and a Moran amendment struck Van Hollen’s measure.
- The Senate Judiciary Committee voted to advance former Fox News host Jeanine Pirro’s nomination to be U.S. Attorney for D.C., where she’s been acting since mid-May, sending it to the full Senate.
- A clear timeline for moving hundreds of FBI employees into the Reagan Building remains unresolved; Maryland Sen. Chris Van Hollen says the fight isn’t over.
