Kash Patel announces FBI ditching DC headquarters, transferring 1,500 agents
[NYP] FBI Director Kash Patel announced Friday that the bureau is leaving its longtime headquarters in the J. Edgar Hoover Building and would transfer 1,500 employees to locations around the country.

"This FBI is leaving the Hoover building because this building is unsafe for our workforce," Patel told Fox Business anchor Maria Bartiromo in an interview.

"We want the American men and women to know if you’re going to come work at the premier law enforcement agency in the world, we’re going to give you a building that’s commensurate with that, and that’s not this place."

"So we are taking 1,500 of those folks and moving them out. Every state is getting a plus-up. And I think when we do things like that, we inspire folks in America to become intel analysts and agents and say we want to work at the FBI because we want to fight violent crime and we want to be sent out into the country to do it."

He added: "in the next 3, 6, 9 months we’re going to be doing that hard."
