FBI Closes Diversity Office in December 2024, Trump Demands Records Preserved
Jan 16, 2025, 11:19 PM
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) closed its Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) in December 2024, ahead of Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, 2025. The closure was confirmed by the FBI to Fox News, stating that steps to close the ODI were taken in recent weeks, effective by December 2024. The agency did not provide a specific reason for the closure, but it comes amid criticism from Republicans, including Senator Marsha Blackburn, who argued that the FBI's focus on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives had overshadowed its core mission of national security. President-elect Trump demanded that the FBI preserve all records related to the ODI, alleging corruption and questioning the timing of the closure just before his administration's inauguration.
