A Republican-led Senate committee took a key step Wednesday to allow the Trump administration to move the FBI headquarters to the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in downtown Washington instead of a previously selected location in Maryland.
The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee considered three resolutions related to General Services Administration plans to spend roughly $1.5 billion to repair and alter the Reagan Building on Pennsylvania Avenue.
The committee, in a 10-9 party-line vote on a panel resolution, approved a prospectus on a $1.4 billion project to repair and alter the building to serve as the new FBI headquarters.
