A member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is calling on the General Services Administration’s inspector general to investigate the agency’s sudden reversal on plans for the FBI headquarters building.

In a letter Wednesday, Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-Va.) asked GSA’s inspector general to look into why agency officials earlier this month abandoned plans to consolidate the FBI under one roof in suburban Maryland or Virginia.

Instead, the GSA intends to tear down the crumbling J. Edgar Hoover building in Washington and build a modern headquarters in its place.

In the letter, Connolly requested an IG investigation after he said he received insufficient explanations from GSA Administrator Emily Murphy and Public Buildings Service Commissioner Dan Mathews during a subcommittee hearing last week.
