US Hillary Clinton Campaign Signed Lease for Brooklyn Headquarters: Source

The campaign of likely US presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has signed a lease to house its headquarters in Brooklyn, New York, a source with knowledge of Clinton's plans said today.

Clinton, a former US secretary of state and the wife of a former president, is expected to launch her White House bid for the 2016 election later this month. Her campaign will occupy two floors of an office building at 1 Pierrepont Plaza in the Brooklyn Heights neighborhood, according to the source.

The identity of the lease holder on the Brooklyn space was unclear. If it is Clinton's campaign-in-waiting, the expenditure would trigger a 15-day window in which she must officially form her campaign.

Politico first reported the lease on the Clinton campaign headquarters on today.
