<\/p>\nTrump Exonerated By Justice Dept. Inspector General After Years-Long Probe
\n<\/p>\n
The inspector general for the Justice Department released a report late last month after a years-long probe exonerating former President Donald Trump over the FBI\u2019s plan to relocate its J. Edgar Hoover headquarters building.<\/p>\n
The investigative began after Democrats accused then-President Trump of pressuring FBI Director Christopher Wray, whom he appointed after firing James Comey, to sign off on a relocation site for the HQ building that would prevent a hotel competitor from relocating on the former Hoover building site.<\/p>\n
The plan was eventually dropped after FBI accountants decided that the federal government couldn\u2019t sell the Hoover Building to a would-be developer for as much as it would cost to construct an entirely new building.<\/p>\n
DOJ IG investigators noted in their report that in spite of claims by Democrats, the FBI director said that at no time did he feel pressured by Trump to reach a particular decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cWray told us that his decision to recommend staying in the current location was not based on anything that Trump said or wanted\u2026 Wray told us that Trump was \u2018not involved\u2019 in Wray\u2019s recommendation, and he did not feel that Trump was trying to \u2018steer [him] to a particular outcome,\u2019\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
