Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night, two sources familiar with the incident, including a law enforcement source, told CNN.
The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant.
The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, the law enforcement source said.
$3k in cash? Her coke habit is expensive
Seriously, who tf carries that much cash and is a govt employee without being up to something very sheisty
She hasn’t had a chance to deposit that bribe yet. After all, she had just received it there in the restaurant.
It’s a definite warning sign when a person has that much ready cash on them.
i cannot think of why someone one at her level of government would need to hold $3000 on them
I can’t imagine why anyone, in this day and age, would have that much cash on them unless they’re directly going to buy something or just sold something.
Even then she’s a cabinet secretary someone else should hold onto the cash unless no one else can know about it
