Trump said in a recent interview that he wants to audit Fort Knox's gold reserves, joking that officials 'steal a lot.' Multiple news outlets confirmed he made this statement, though the reporting indicates he was partially joking about 'Treasure Island-style fantasies' rather than making a serious accusation of actual theft. The actual status of Fort Knox reserves remains unchanged — the U.S. maintains approximately $700 billion in gold reserves there, last officially audited in 1953.
