Photos of when (((Steve Mnuchin))) went to Fort Knox in 2017. Claims it’s still there. Mitch McConnell was with him.
First thought: maybe they’re filled with cotton batten.
Mnuchin thanked the U.S. Mint staff on Twitter after the visit, which he said was the first for a treasury secretary since 1948. “Glad gold is safe!” he tweeted.

[he said it was safe; he didn’t say it was there]
That photo of Mnuchin looks like it was taken in the pre-beatles era.
An article from 2010 — Fort Knox Conundrum: China Claims Fake Gold Bars Are From US!
An excerpt:
“In October 2009, China reportedly received a large shipment of gold, containing some 6,000 bars, weighing 400 ounces each. When it was received, the Chinese government asked that tests be performed to guarantee the purity and weight of the gold bars. In this test, four small holes were drilled into the bars, and the metal was analyzed. Officials were shocked to find the bars were bogus. They contained cores of tungsten, with only an outer coating of real gold. What’s more, these gold bars, containing serial numbers for tracking, originated in the United States and had reportedly been stored in Fort Knox for years.”
