Does Fort Knox Really Hold America’s Gold? Senator Says He Saw All 147 Million Ounces
Every American knows the popular Fort Knox conspiracy. The US government says hundreds of billions of dollars' worth of gold is sitting inside it, but skeptics believe some or all of it may no longer be there. But Republican Senator Rand Paul says he verified it.
The Kentucky Senator reportedly had a vault tour on Monday, August 10. He says all the Fort Knox gold is there, roughly 147 million ounces.
Fort Knox Gold is There, Rand Paul Says After Going Underground
Almost nobody gets inside Fort Knox. The US Mint says outsiders have seen the vault roughly twice since it opened in 1937. Journalists and lawmakers toured it in 1974 to bury rumors of missing gold. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin looked in 2017.
The Kentucky senator became the latest exception on August 10.
