WARNING OFFENSIVE PHOTOS - Non binary Biden nuclear official charged with stealing woman’s $2 3K luggage at airport
A Biden administration employee - and one of the federal government's first gender non-binary officials - has been accused of stealing a travelor's luggage from the Minneapolis airport in September. Sam Brinton, the deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the DOE's Office of Nuclear Energy, was charged with felony theft after allegedly snatching a Vera Bradley suitcase reportedly worth $2,325 from baggage claim at the Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport on Sept. 16, according to court documents. Brinton, who uses they/them pronouns, was captured on surveillance video grabbing the luggage and removing its ID tag identifying the owner, the filings state. Brinton called the officer back two hours after their first conversation and confessed to not being "Completely honest." According to the court filings, Brinton said when they opened the bag at their hotel, they realized it wasn't theirs, but got nervous someone would think they stole it and didn't know what to do. Brinton - who became one of the government's first non-binary officials when taking the job - was placed on leave about a month ago following the accusations.
