WASHINGTON (AP) — Hillary Rodham Clinton has signed a lease in a Brooklyn, New York, building for what is expected to house her presidential campaign headquarters.
A person familiar with the plans says Clinton has signed the lease for two floors in an office in New York’s Brooklyn Heights neighborhood. The person spoke on condition of anonymity and was not authorized to speak publicly about internal planning.
Clinton is expected to announce her presidential campaign in the coming weeks. The decision to sign the lease likely sets off a 15-day period in which presidential candidates are required to make their intentions known.
The building also houses the U.S. attorney’s office of Loretta Lynch, who has been nominated to be President Barack Obama’s next attorney general.
The lease was first reported by Politico.

Hey, my neighborhood! I go into that building all the time. Not the hippest part of Brooklyn; but the closest to Manhattan, the most convenient in many ways, and (a block or two in from this spot) the prettiest in the city. And not far from Junior’s!
Junior’s cheesecake, I remember it well. But we can stop holding our breath and now get on to the next stage, supporting the woman in any way we care to.
Brilliant-You can’t get much more in your face republican than the 4th largest city in the country!
The HDS Uruk-hai will be sending their arrows non-stop once Hillary declares, which this building lease essentially is–a declaration that it is going to happen. Cinch up your armor.
