Donald Trump has renewed his call for a physical inspection of Fort Knox following the arrest of David Rush, a former senior CIA official charged with stealing over 300 gold bars worth more than $40 million from the federal government. According to BeInCrypto, Rush was arrested on May 19 after federal agents seized the gold bars, $2 million in US currency, and 35 luxury watches from his home. The case has intensified scrutiny over the US's gold holdings, which have not been independently audited since 1974. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has dismissed concerns, stating that all gold is accounted for and inviting Congress members to verify the reserves.
