ASHBURN, Va. (7News) — 7News has learned that portraits and photos of Loudoun County’s former commonwealth’s attorneys are missing.
They were last seen when former Commonwealth's Attorney Buta Biberaj was in office.
“The portraits and photographs of the previous commonwealth’s attorneys are a part of Loudoun County history. The county needs to have them back so that they can be appropriately preserved,” current Loudoun County Commonwealth’s Attorney Bob Anderson told 7News.
The 1800s and there are no backup copies of many of them, according to multiple sources.
In an email obtained by 7News, Loudoun County Administrator Tim Hemstreet wrote on March 5, 2024, that the county was contacted by both CA Anderson and Clerk of the Circuit Court Gary Clemens on January 4, 2024, asking whether the county was in possession “of framed photographs of former commonwealth’s attorneys.”
“It is our understanding that these photographs had been displayed in a foyer or lobby area of the previous office,” wrote Hemstreet. “As part of the inquiry from Mr. Anderson and Mr. Clemens, the County was advised that Mr. Anderson’s staff believed that the photographs had been mistakenly sent to the County. This original inquiry included a supposition that the “photos were inadvertently provided to the County surplus team for sale at one of the future surplus auctions.”

There is a Twitchy thread on this issue as well which is bringing quite a bit of attention to this issue.

Don't most states have laws against destruction of historical artifacts and documents. These were portraits from 200 years ago and have great historical value!
Oops. Twitchy thread here:
The portraits were too white, too male for the representative of replacement Americans?
That’s about it.
If you recall, this is the Virginia DA who charged the father( upset that his daughter was raped in the school bathroom) with crimes for “disturbing” the school board meeting.
There’s something about her name.
I’d like to buy another consonant please…
