Commentary: The FBI Washington Headquarters Won't Be Missed
- FBI Director Kash Patel announced the 2025 closure of the 50-year-old Hoover building headquarters in Washington, DC, relocating at least 1,500 employees to regional offices.
- The decision followed a Biden Administration determination that the Hoover building was structurally decrepit amid longstanding concerns about the FBI's Washington-centric concentration and political weaponization.
- Numerous scandals stemming from the Washington headquarters involved FBI personnel such as Kevin Clinesmith, who doctored a FISA application, and James A. Baker, who allegedly pushed the Steele dossier to media before the 2016 election.
- Robert Mueller led a 20-month, $40 million investigation concluding no Russian-Trump collusion, while two FBI agents, Peter Strzok and Lisa Page, were dismissed for expressing deep personal bias against Trump.
- The closure may mark the end of a decade-long chapter characterized by political controversies and top-heavy Washington operations, potentially shifting focus toward regional offices aligned with where most serious crimes occur.
