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 Noems drivers license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, the law enforcement source said.
The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noems financial instruments, the person said.

Yeah, who carries $3k cash? Has nose candy inflation been really bad in DC? Oh, maybe Easter egg money.

Anybody who carries their whole life in one bag like that shouldn't be in charge of any kind of security.

It wasn't a brown immigrant, apparently, you know, the ones who commit all the crimes.

Now doesn't that fit with the state of our national security under the TSF regime?

My theory is her personal phone was stolen as well and she is too embarrassed to admit it
