'The whole discussion about a new headquarters should be put off to another time and place,' said Rep. Michael Cloud.
“The FBI right now has some serious, serious issues that need to be addressed. … The whole discussion about a new headquarters should be put off to another time and place,” said Rep. Michael Cloud , a member of the Appropriations Committee, characterizing himself as “very much” interested in using the government funding bills to block a new headquarters.
Even if Republicans aren’t able to formally rescind money previously greenlit for the FBI project, supporters of blocking the new building believe they could still do so because the headquarters needs billions in additional funding. “I’ve always kind of approached it as, well, people with a lot more information and a lot more knowledge of the process than I have made the decision a long time ago that there was going to be a relocation of the FBI,” said Rep. Steve Womack , while declining to “get into the debate right now about the effort to replace the FBI headquarters.”
Blocking the FBI from building a new headquarters is also guaranteed to spark pushback from the Maryland and Virginia delegations, who have engaged in public campaign efforts and quiet lobbying to try to get their respective states selected.
