Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) defended the decision for the FBI’s new headquarters to be in the state after the move stirred up some controversy, notably among Virginia lawmakers.
FBI Director Christopher Wray told agency staff he was concerned about a potential conflict of interest within the process used by the Biden administration and the General Services Administration (GSA) to choose Greenbelt, Md., as the agency’s new headquarters.
Wray told his staff they previously agreed for the new headquarters to be in Springfield, Va., but an “exceedingly rare” move by a senior executive changed the location to Greenbelt, which is 13 miles northeast of Washington.
