Washington — Less than 24 hours after the General Services Administration — the agency that helps manage the federal government — announced that it had selected Greenbelt, Maryland, as the location of the new future FBI headquarters, FBI Director Christopher Wray sent an email to bureau employees criticizing the process.
"I had hoped this message would include our enthusiastic support for the way GSA arrived at its selection," Wray wrote Thursday, according to a copy of the message reviewed by CBS News, "Unfortunately, we have concerns about fairness and transparency in the process and GSA's failure to adhere to its own site selection plan."
Wray — who was tapped to lead the FBI by former President Donald Trump in 2017 — wrote that he was concerned about "a potential conflict of interest involving the site selection authority and whether changes that individual made in the final stage of the process adhered to the site selection criteria." The bureau's concerns about the process, he added, "remain unresolved."
