A man is wanted in connection to a burglary of former President Donald Trump's campaign office in Ashburn, Virginia, sources confirmed to Just The News on Monday.

The burglary took place on Sunday, at the former president's campaign office in the 20000 block of Ashbrook Place, which also serves as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee, according to The National Desk.

Deputies said they arrived on the scene at 9 p.m. and a man was caught on camera wearing dark clothing, a dark cap and a backpack. The name and age of the suspect has not been released so far.

“It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” 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.”

The incident comes a day after the Trump campaign announced that one of its websites was hacked by a foreign entity it believes was Iran. The FBI has since launched an investigation into the alleged hack.
