President Donald Trump said Friday that he’ll block the planned move of the FBI headquarters from the nation’s capital to Prince George’s County.

Speaking at the U.S. Department of Justice, the Republican president said the FBI should no longer be moved “three hours away” to Maryland, “a liberal state.”

“We’re going to stop it. We’re not going to let that happen,” Trump said. “We’re going to build another big FBI building right where it is, which would have been the right place, because the FBI and the DOJ have to be near each other.”
