The Federal Bureau of Investigation plans to move its headquarters to the Ronald Reagan Building complex in Washington, scuttling Biden administration plans approved by Congress to move the agency to the Maryland suburbs.

The new location for the headquarters is about three blocks from the agency’s current location, keeping FBI leaders and key personnel near the Justice Department, White House and other federal agencies.
