This is in addition to four buildings in Kansas City that DOGE identified to close or sell, including the FBI headquarters and the main Department of Justice building. The list disappeared by Wednesday morning.
DOGE says the federal government can save $468 million by ending hundreds of leases across the country.
In all, DOGE lists $105 billion in savings through a combination of asset sales, renegotiations, contract and lease cancellations, and other cuts and changes.
