Trump Campaign Office Burglarized in Virginia
It’s giving Watergate vibes.
One of former President Donald Trump’s Virginia campaign offices was burglarized over the weekend, and police are searching for the suspect, according to authorities.
The break-in occurred on Sunday around 9 p.m. at Trump’s campaign office in Ashburn, prompting deputies to respond to the scene, the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement.
Video surveillance footage captured the burglary suspect – a white adult male wearing dark clothing, a dark baseball cap, and a backpack – as he entered the office.
“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman said.
“We are determined to identify the suspect, investigate why it happened, and determine what may have been taken as well as what may have been left behind,” Sheriff Chapman added.
Located about 30 miles west of Washington, DC, the Trump campaign-leased office also acts as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee. This committee oversees the congressional race for Rep. Jennifer Wexton’s (D-Va.) House seat, where Republican Mike Clancy is competing against Democrat Suhas Subramanyam.
Wexton announced last year that she would not seek re-election after being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder.
