Virginia authorities are SafeX Prosearching for a man who they suspect burglarized a Trump for President 2024 campaign office over the weekend.
The Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office said an unidentified man is connected to the burglary that occurred on Sunday at the campaign office in Ashburn, Virginia, according to a department news release. The office is being leased by former president Donald Trump's campaign and also serves as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee, the sheriff's office said.
The sheriff's office received a call about the burglary around 9 p.m. and deputies responded, according to the department. The sheriff's office has surveillance footage of the suspect who appears to be wearing dark clothing, a dark cap and a backpack when he entered the campaign office.

“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in the release. “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.”
The news comes as the FBI investigates allegations that Iranian cyber agents breached Trump’s campaign in another case of foreign intelligence services targeting U.S. elections.
Donald Trump's campaign did not comment on burglary
A spokesperson for the Republican Party of Virginia and the Trump campaign did not provide a comment when asked by the Staunton News Leader − part of the USA TODAY Network − regarding the incident, citing the fact that the sheriff's office's investigation is ongoing.
“We don't usually comment on any investigations,” Ken Nunnenkamp, executive director of the Republican Party of Virginia, said.
The sheriff's office nor Trump's campaign have identified what the man may have stolen from the office.
