Non-Binary Biden Official Was Traveling on Taxpayer Dime to Secure Nuclear Facility When Luggage Heist Occurred
Former Biden administration nuclear official Sam Brinton was on a taxpayer-funded government business trip when he was caught trying to steal airport luggage, according to newly revealed Department of Energy documents.
Brinton, who identifies as “non-binary” and dresses in woman’s clothes, traveled in early July 2022 to the DOE’s Nevada national security site outside Las Vegas as part of his role as deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition at the office of nuclear energy, according to internal documents obtained by watchdog group Functional Government Initiative (FGI) and first reported by Fox News.
Brinton took a United Airlines flight from Washington, D.C., to Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas on July 6, 2022, the records indicate. In early December, authorities announced there was a federal warrant out for Brinton’s arrest on grand larceny charges for stealing property worth between $1,200 and $5,000. Police said Brinton was captured on surveillance footage leaving the airport with a suitcase containing an estimated $3,500 value of jewelry, clothing, and makeup on July 6, 2022.
The visit to the Nevada national security Site — which conducts “experiments” related to nuclear national security, according to the DOE website — was made for an undefined purpose, according to the documents. The NNSS is located in a remote, highly secure area. The facility hosts scientists, engineers, mathematicians, and technicians who “execute a multitude of high-level experimental, research, and training activities in support of national security.”
