U.S. Justice Department’s watchdog will probe FBI role in dropping plan to move headquarters

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. Justice Department’s watchdog will investigate the role of the FBI and Justice Department in a reversal of plans to move FBI headquarters to the Washington suburbs, Democratic congressional leaders said on Wednesday.

The department’s inspector general informed House committee leaders of the review in a letter on Tuesday after two committees had pushed him to probe the reversal.
