The Prime Minister says he was comfortable finding out about a new FBI base in Wellington just six days before it opened

Last week it was revealed SIS Minister Judith Collins knew about the base around two and a half months before Chris Luxon did.

Luxon was first told the same week director Kash Patel arrived here - but says he isn't worried.

He says FBI agents have been here for awhile and the fact they've beefed up their office is a good thing.
