Newly released documents shed light on Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchinโ€™s $27,000 trip last year to Fort Knox, which allowed him two rare sights: the total solar eclipse from just outside the path of totality, and the governmentโ€™s largest stockpile of gold.

 

The documents, released Thursday in response to a public records request from CNN, provide new details about the August 2017 trip, which was scrutinized by the departmentโ€™s inspector general because it placed Mnuchin in a desirable location at the right time for viewing the solar eclipse.

 

Mnuchin said he visited Fort Knox with Kentucky elected officials to review the bullion depository containing government-owned gold, and the inspector general said it found no evidence of wrongdoing or that the trip โ€œwas chosen to coincide with the solar eclipse.โ€
