> After an earlier version of this story published, the “non-core” properties was updated to exclude all Washington buildings and dozens in Maryland in Virginia that were previously included. The White House did not respond to a request for comment about why the changes were made. The initial list included a bunch of HQ buildings that made no sense to sell. For example the Department of Justice is always going to need a headquarters and it should always be within the District of Columbia to exclude state interference. And it's not like tons of DC commercial real estate companies are flush with capital to buy old federal buildings downtown right now.
