ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Former President Donald Trump’s campaign office in Virginia was reported burglarized over the weekend, and authorities are investigating whether anything was stolen.
It happened Sunday at an office in Ashburn rented by the Trump for President 2024 campaign, which also serves as headquarters for Virginia’s 10th District Republican Committee, according to a news release from the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office in Northern Virginia.
The sheriff’s office was contacted around 9 p.m. Sunday. The agency said it has surveillance video that shows someone dressed in dark clothing with a dark baseball cap and carrying a backpack. The investigation continues.
The video shows a person breaking in and going through it, sheriff’s office spokesman Thomas A. Julia said in an email Tuesday. Officials expect to release an update while we know, Julia said.
“It is rare for any political campaign or party office to be broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in a statement. “We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why this happened and determine what may have been taken and what may have been left behind.”
The Trump campaign and the 10th District Republican Committee did not immediately respond to emails seeking comment.
