Kash Patel Says FBI Closing the Hoover Building, Which He Once Promised to Make a 'Deep State Museum'
Source: Mediaite
FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the FBI would be closing the J. Edgar Hoover Building in Washington D.C., permanently, after once promising to turn it into a deep-state museum.
Patel wrote on X, After more than 20 years of failed attempts, we finalized a plan to permanently close the FBIs Hoover headquarters and move the workforce into a safe, modern facility. Working directly with President Trump and Congress, we accomplished what no one else could.
Planning for the building named after the first director began in 1962, and it was formally dedicated by President Gerald Ford in 1975.
Patels post continued:
When we arrived, taxpayers were about to be on the hook for nearly $5 billion for a new headquarters that wouldnt open until 2035. We scrapped that plan. Instead, we selected the already-existing Reagan Building, saving billions and allowing the transition to begin immediately with required safety and infrastructure upgrades already underway. Once complete, most of the HQ FBI workforce will move in, and the rest are continuing in our ongoing push to put more manpower in the field, where they will remain.
