Donald Trump campaign office in Virginia burglarized, authorities say The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office |
A person sought by authorities in a Donald Trump campaign office in Loudoun County, Ashburn
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said it's investigating whether anything was stolen, as well as the identity of a person who was captured on security video.
Authorities in a Virginia suburb of Washington, D.C., said Monday that they are investigating a break-in at a campaign office for former President Donald Trump.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said in a news release that deputies were contacted at roughly 9 p.m. ET Sunday and noted that security video had captured a person dressed in dark clothing with a dark cap and a backpack.
The campaign office in Ashburn, about 30 miles northwest of Washington, is being leased by the Trump campaign, and the state’s 10th District Republican Committee is also headquartered there, the sheriff's office said.
A Trump campaign spokesperson and the campaign for Mike Clancy, the Republican nominee for the House seat in the state's 10th Congressional District, did not immediately respond to requests for comment Monday evening.
The report of a possible burglary comes after Trump's campaign said Saturday that an Iranian group hacked it in June, around the time Trump was selecting his running mate.
The FBI said Monday that it is investigating the alleged hack. A source familiar with the matter said the FBI bureau is also investigating attempted hacks of three Biden-Harris campaign staffers and former Trump adviser Roger Stone, which were first reported by The Washington Post.
