The Republican coronavirus stimulus proposal includes funds for the design and construction of a new FBI headquarters at the request of the Trump administration
The bill includes $1.75 billion"for the design and construction of a Washington, D.C. headquarters facility for the Federal Bureau of Investigation," according to the bill text.The provision comes after the administration's successful push for the funds caused significant problems during the intraparty negotiations. But the funding could still face an uncertain future, with at least two key Republicans withholding full support.
"Another senior Republican close to the talks lamented the decision to include it: "I can't imagine it's a helpful thing to have in there."The Trump administration and specifically President Donald Trump have long been involved in plans surrounding FBI headquarters.
