Responding to Trump’s comments Friday, Sen. Chris Van Hollen, D-Md., said he would “fight that tooth and nail, and there will not be a penny appropriated for an FBI headquarters anywhere other than Greenbelt, Maryland.”

President Donald Trump said he would seek to scrap a plan to move the Federal Bureau of Investigation headquarters from Washington, DC to Maryland, and instead keep it in the nation’s capital — the latest in a long-running saga over the site for the agency’s main office.

President Donald Trump said Friday that he doesn’t want the new FBI headquarters to be built in Maryland but rather in the nation’s capital. Trump said he prefers Washington for the headquarters promised to 61 acres in Greenbelt in 2023.
