#TrumpAuditFortKnox
"We're going to go to Fort Knox, the fabled Fort Knox, to make sure the gold is there"
"If the gold isn't there, we're going to be very upset," the president said.
During his presidency, Donald Trump made a rare visit to Fort Knox in August 2017, sparking speculation about a potential gold audit. Fort Knox, a high-security U.S. Treasury facility in Kentucky, houses a significant portion of the nation’s gold reserves. However, no official audit was conducted during Trump's visit. The last known comprehensive audit of Fort Knox's gold was in 1953, with partial inspections in subsequent years. Trump's visit, accompanied by then-Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, was reportedly to discuss military issues, not gold reserves. Despite speculation, no evidence suggests that Trump initiated an audit of Fort Knox.
