Federal Inspector General Investigates FBI Headquarters Relocation to Maryland

The inspector general for the General Services Administration (GSA) is investigating the decision to build a new FBI headquarters in Maryland instead of Virginia. The selection process has been marred by allegations of conflict of interest and political influence. Virginia lawmakers have called for a pause in the relocation until the review is complete, while Maryland lawmakers maintain that their state was chosen based on the best site. The GSA defends its decision, citing lower costs and easy access to transit. The review will evaluate the agency's process and procedures for selecting the site.
