Trump campaign office in Virginia burglarized, police searching for suspect

It’s giving Watergate vibes.

One of former President Donald Trump’s Virginia campaign offices was burglarized over the weekend and police are looking for the suspect, authorities said Monday. 

The break-in took place on Sunday about 9 p.m. at Trump’s campaign office in Ashburn, Va., prompting deputies with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office to respond to the scene, the 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,” said Loudoun County Sheriff Mike Chapman. 

“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,” he added. 

About 30 miles west of Washington, DC, the Trump campaign-leased office also serves as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee – where Republican Mike Clancy is competing against Democrat Suhas Subramanyam in the congressional race for Rep. Jennifer Wexton’s (D-Va.) House seat. 

Wexton announced last year that she would not seek re-election after being diagnosed with a rare neurological disorder.

While deputies are still investigating why the suspect broke into the office, the incident raised eyebrows for its rarity – and its eery similarity to the Watergate scandal.

Former President Richard Nixon’s 1972 re-election campaign had directed a break-in of the Democratic National Committee’s then-headquarters in Washington, DC’s Watergate Office Building.

It comes after the Trump campaign on Saturday accused Iran of hacking into its website after Politico reported that it had received anonymous emails that included internal documents related to the vetting of Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) – who was tapped as Trump’s running mate last month.

The Trump campaign did not respond to The Post’s request for comment.
