The FBI was to relocate to the suburbs until President Trump vetoed the move in 2017.
It would have released the site to a developer who might just want to build a hotel across the road from Trump's hotel & thus become a competitor.
“The funding rider for FBI’s HQ is a big deal,” Walter Shaub, the former head of the U.S. Office of Government Ethics, tweeted, adding that it “reinforced suspicion Trump canceled the long-planned HQ move to prevent competition from moving in across the street from his hotel.”
