Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz and five other Republicans will introduce legislation Tuesday that calls for the House to halt all spending allocated towards the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) new headquarters outside the District of Columbia.
The Daily Caller first obtained the legislation, which is titled “The FBI Washington Field Office House Arrest Act.” In December 2022’s Omnibus package, when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House, Congress voted to allocate $375 Million for a new FBI headquarters. Gaetz and the GOP lawmakers do not believe it should be built.
There are reportedly three options for where the new FBI headquarters would be built: two in Maryland, and one in Virginia.
“There are still good men and women in the FBI whose task and purpose is to defend our country, but the FBI’s weaponized Washington Field Office is rotten to the core. Through our investigations in the Weaponization Subcommittee, we have uncovered extremely disturbing testimony from FBI whistleblowers that the Washington Field Office is targeting Americans who oppose their corrupt political agenda,” Gaetz told the Caller before introducing the legislation.
