    Authorities said Monday they are investigating a burglary at a Donald Trump campaign office in suburban Virginia, circulating surveillance video of a man inside the building with what appears to be a full backpack.

    The break-in was reported late Sunday at the campaign office in Ashburn, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office.

    The building, in a suburban office park about 30 miles west of downtown Washington, also serves as the headquarters of the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee.

    “It is rare to have the office of any political campaign or party broken into,” Sheriff Mike Chapman said in the statement. “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.”

    A spokesperson for the former president's campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the incident.

    Surveillance video showed a man in a black baseball cap and dark clothing with the backpack strapped to his chest. The statement did not say what, if anything, was taken.

    The incident comes as the FBI says that it has opened an investigation into the apparent hacking of Trump’s presidential campaign that resulted in the release of sensitive campaign documents.
