The studio was later home to Al Jazeera America's Washington, D.C. bureau which also had editing facilities and office space in the building. Sharing the building with the Newseum are The Source, a Wolfgang Puck Restaurant, and the Newseum Residences, a collection of 135 luxury apartment homes.

Human Rights Watch said that their investigation in Gaza showed no evidence that the men were involved
