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.

The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL) just keeps on giving and giving. 

Passed in the fall of 2021, the law laid out a walloping $660 billion to be spread over five years for a smorgasbord of infrastructure upgrades. From the air to the sea to rail to roads, and even down to local multi-use trails, Virginia is included in the list of states and localities getting long overdue infrastructure fixes and funds to connect communities. 

In order to receive the funds, localities with the ability to apply for grants must apply for a new round of funding each year until the program ends.

Last month, the United States Department of Transportation’s Federal Aviation Administration awarded $427 million to help modernize 245 airports in 39 states for fiscal year 2024, according to their press release. 

Through BIL’s Airport Infrastructure Grants (AIG) program, airports are slated to get $25 billion this year to expand terminals and runways, help with air traffic upgrades or other initiatives.

In Virginia, that translates to 45 airports getting more than $76 million for fixes. These include big airports like Washington Dulles International (which obtained $22 million) and Richmond International Airport ($6.8 million), to smaller airports like Tangier Island ($113,000) and Chesterfield’s Executive ($294,000).

“We’re going to use the current allocation for a taxiway project,” said John Rutledge, Chief Operating Officer with the Richmond International Airport. “It’s Taxiway E and Taxiway C. They’re two connecting taxiways from the air carrier apron to a runway.”

An apron is basically the parking spot for airplanes and many times it’s also where passengers embark. Rutledge said this infrastructure upgrade isn’t just a cosmetic fix, it’s actually a safety issue. 

“The FAA says you can’t have a direct connection from an apron to a runway because a pilot might go directly from the apron onto the runway and cause an incursion,” he explained. “This project will just relocate those two intersections.”

Rutledge said the project will go under construction within the next 60 to 90 days.

For the smaller Chesterfield County executive airport, the almost $300,000 in grants are going toward a runway expansion. 

“So, it’s a 500 foot-long extension that takes us from a 5,800 foot-long runway to a 6,300 foot long runway,” said John Neal, Director of General Services for Chesterfield County’s airport. “The primary benefit is that the aircraft that fly out, they’ll be able to depart with a full tank of fuel. Where now they’re not able to because of the weight factor in taking off. So it gives them a little more flexibility to have a longer range of flight.”

Neal said that expansion is still far from being completed, so the current AIG funds are being used to help with easement acquisition from an adjacent property that’s currently filled with brush and trees and natural gas pipelines. After that, they’ll apply for more funding to help complete the project. 

Virginia and D.C. trails get some funding, too

In another round of grants generated through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the East Coast Greenway just received a $70-plus million shot of funding through a U.S. DOT program called Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity or RAISE. 

“The East Coast Greenway is a 3,000-mile multi-use trail connected from Maine to Florida that is in the process of being developed and built as we speak,” said Elliott Caldwell, manager for the sections that run through Virginia and Washington D.C. “We’re about a third or so done with it.”

The Greenway is an alliance, Caldwell relayed, that helps localities apply for grants like RAISE by writing letters of support and working with local officials on design. It’s all done with a goal of helping these trails connect to the Greenway.

“I think jurisdictions like to be a part of the network because it brings visitors to their trails,” Caldwell said, who added the current Fall Line Trail project is a good example of jurisdictions working together. 

For D.C. and surrounding areas, this means construction can begin on a project called the New York Avenue Bridge and Lincoln Connector Trail Project, which runs 1.8 miles at a cost of $25 million. The connection is part of an even bigger project, according to Caldwell.

“The Anacostia River Trail, which goes through Maryland and D.C., Prince George County and into D.C., goes under New York Avenue, which turns into U.S. Route 50,” he said. “And D.C.’s Department of Transportation is going to rehabilitate that bridge, over the Anacostia River.”

The project features a new shared-use path in Washtington’s Fort Lincoln neighborhood to the Anacostia Riverwalk Trail.

“We’re talking about tens of thousands of people that will have better access to the Anacostia River,” said Caldwell.

Down south in Virginia, more than $5 million will be used to construct more than two miles of the Suffolk Seaboard Coastline Trail.

“So the city of Suffolk has been working for years now on a rail trail,” Caldwell said. “The money they got for this particular segment is crucial because it goes through some wetland areas. And so there will be some boardwalking of this.”

When finished, the Seaboard Coastline Trail will cover 20 miles of former railroad passes and connect parts of Portsmouth and Chesapeake to the Isle of Wight County. It’s also part of a broader trail network that will connect to the South Hampton Roads Trail, which will connect Suffolk to Norfolk and then to Virginia Beach, Caldwell said.

Anna Keating will be returning to Virginia for her COVID-19 fifth year, she announced via Instagram. Keating has helped the Virginia women to four straight NCAA titles.

Keating was the #10 ranked recruit coming out of high school. She made an instant impact upon her arrival in Charlottesville, finishing 4th in the 200 breast and 6th in the 100 breast at the 2021 ACC Championships. She also was 14th in the 200 IM. She qualified for NCAAs as a freshman, finishing 18th in the 100 breast and 21st in the 200 breast.

She finished 6th in both the 100 and 200 breaststrokes at 2022 ACCs, once again punching her ticket to NCAAs. She made her first finals at NCAAs, finishing 8th in the 200 breast in a personal best time of a 2:07.10. She also was 13th in the 100 breast in a 59.05. She scored 14.5 individual points, helping the team to another NCAA title.

As a junior, she was 8th in the 200 breast, 12th in the 100 breast, and 43rd in the 200 IM at ACCs. She swam a best time at NCAAs in the 200 breast, clocking a 2:06.73 for 6th. She also was 20th in the 100 breast. She scored 12 individual points to help the team to the 2023 NCAA title.

She switched her event lineup for ACCs this past season, swimming the 100 breast, 200 breast, and 400 IM. She finished 3rd in the 200 breast, 5th in the 400 IM, and 11th in the 100 breast.

She kept that lineup for NCAAs, finishing 8th in the 200 breast to score 11 individual points. She also was 35th in the 400 IM and 42nd in the 100 breast. Her ‘A’ final swim in the 200 breast was alongside Alex Walsh who captured the NCAA title.

This summer, Keating made the final of the women’s 200 breaststroke, finishing 6th in a 2:29.54. Her lifetime best stands at a 2:24.62 in the event.

The return of Keating allows Virginia to stay even more of a favorite to make a run at a 5th straight NCAA title. The team also returns Alex Walsh and Maxine Parker for their 5th years. The incoming class for this fall is also the #1 ranked recruiting class featuring names such as Claire Curzan and Leah Hayes.

The Virginia women qualified 19 swimmers make the cutline for 2024 NCAAs and had to cut one to get down to the maximum 18. They then cut another swimmer to make room for a diver. With Keating’s return, they now return 15 out of the 17 swimmers that competed at 2024 NCAAs.
