Kessler forced his way in through a back door into the office building in Ashburn and spent a brief period of time inside before leaving, authorities said. The office is being leased by the Trump campaign and serves as headquarters for the Virginia 10th District Republican Committee. “It is still unclear what, if anything, he took with him,” the sheriff’s office added. Kessler was last seen wearing dark clothing and a backpack. His face was captured on the surveillance video. Thomas Julia, a spokesperson for the sheriff’s office, told The Associated Press that it’s too early to say whether there was any political motivation to the break-in. The sheriff’s office said it appears that he has lived in the D.C. region since 2018. Last month, Kessler was charged in Fairfax County with entering property with intent to damage, a misdemeanor, according to online court records. Anyone with additional information about the alleged burglary is asked to contact Detective Franks at (571) 918-1869. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
