President Donald Trump¡¯s role in decisions about a new FBI headquarters will face intense scrutiny when Democrats take control of a key U.S. House of Representatives committee in January, one of the panel¡¯s leaders said on Tuesday.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Gerald Connolly told Reuters in an interview that the Trump administration¡¯s abrupt cancellation last year of plans to build a new FBI headquarters in the Washington suburbs are a ¡°prime subject for exploration.¡±

Connolly would likely lead such an inquiry if, as expected, he becomes chairman of a House Oversight subcommittee.
