EXCLUSIVE: FBI Director Kash Patel is shutting down the J. Edgar Hoover building and moving its headquarters across Washington to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, with President Donald Trump touting the move, telling Fox News Digital that the FBI “will finally have the kind of building they deserve.”

Fox News Digital exclusively obtained a Tuesday memo Patel sent to the FBI, notifying employees of the relocation, and stressing that it is “most cost-effective way” to serve the American people, Fox News Digital has learned.

Patel, in May, first hinted that the bureau would be reallocating its workforce around the country, and would move agents out of the J. Edgar Hoover Building, which opened in 1975.

The FBI and the General Services Administration (GSA) have been looking at options for a new FBI headquarters for more than a decade, including locations near D.C. in Maryland and Virginia.

“Team, the FBI Headquarters will be moving down the street to the Ronald Reagan Building, and the Hoover building will be shut down,” Patel wrote in the memo, exclusively obtained by Fox News Digital.

Trump told Fox News Digital that the Ronald Reagan Building is “a wonderful building,” and said the FBI is “a wonderful group of people.”
