New Fbi Headquarters

Five senior Democratic members of Congress have questioned what they say is a Trump administration plan to build a new headquarters for the Federal Bureau of Investigation across the street from Donald Trump's downtown Washington hotel.

President Donald Trump's administration on Monday revived its support for construction of a new FBI headquarters, saying it planned to ask Congress in 2018 for the remaining $2.175 billion needed to help pay for it.

The FBI took a major step toward getting a new headquarters Friday when the government launched a formal search for a company to build its campus at one of three sites, in Greenbelt, Landover or Springfield, in exchange for the J. Edgar Hoover Building and as much as $1.8 billion in cash.

The US government's move to replace the FBI's crumbling Washington headquarters, dismissed as "a dump" by one congresswoman, has sparked a fight between Virginia, Maryland and the capital for the billion-dollar project.
