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.

    Maybe just because Trump’s inner circle is making enough money right now that that’s just walking around money to her.

      Even so, rich people usually don’t carry wads of cash like that unless they are paying somebody under the table.

      Doesn’t prove it was for something illegal, but let’s not pretend it doesn’t look weird AF

        Yeah, definitely. Could be something illegal. Could just be something she doesn’t want showing up on shared credit card receipts.
