After reviewing airport records confirming the bag\u2019s arrival and surveillance footage of the incident, law enforcement determined that Brinton deliberately hid the woman\u2019s luggage tag identifying the bag as hers in his own handbag. <\/p>\n<p>The complaint notes that Brinton, who did not check a bag of his own and did not have a valid reason to be in the baggage claim in the first place, \u201cthen left the area at a quick pace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When police confronted Brinton about the bag nearly a month later, the federal official denied taking \u201canything that did not belong\u201d to him. After further questioning, Brinton claimed he took the bag because his clothes were inside.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf I had taken the wrong bag, I am happy to return it, but I don\u2019t have any clothes for another individual. That was my clothes when I opened the bag,\u201d Brinton told law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>Two hours after his initial call with police, Brinton admitted he was not \u201ccompletely honest\u201d and claimed he mistakenly grabbed the bag due to exhaustion. Brinton claimed that once he realized it wasn\u2019t his bag, he \u201cgot nervous\u201d and abandoned the woman\u2019s clothes in the room but took the luggage back to Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n<p>Police say no clothing was left behind and that requests for Brinton to turn in the bag were still unfulfilled on Oct. 27. That was weeks after Brinton was spotted in the Dulles International Airport using the luggage on a trip from Europe. <\/p>\n<p>Brinton is scheduled to appear in court in Minnesota on Dec. 19. <\/p>\n<p>Self-proclaimed <a href=\"https:\/\/amgreatness.com\/2022\/02\/10\/biden-taps-lgbtq-activist-drag-queen-and-pup-fetishist-for-high-level-position-at-the-office-of-nuclear-energy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fetishist<\/a> Brinton first made headlines in June after announcing that he joined the Biden administration as the deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition in the Department of Energy\u2019s Office of Nuclear Energy. <\/p>\n<p>In the accompanying picture posted to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/sbrinton\/status\/1542288527920185344\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Twitter<\/a>, Brinton \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:6886365917148680193\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">celebrated<\/a> as \u201cthe first gender fluid person in federal government leadership\u201d \u2014 posed in a women\u2019s red jumpsuit adorned with a necklace and heels decorated with the stars and stripes.<\/p>\n<p>Under Brinton\u2019s list of career accomplishments, the Office of Nuclear Energy lists his history of LGBT activism including becoming a \u201cwell-known advocate for LGBTQ youth\u201d and helping \u201csecure protections against the dangerous and discredited practice of<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sam Brinton is on leave from his position in the Energy Department after he allegedly stole a suitcase full of women\u2019s clothing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":490,"featured_media":1755217,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1755214","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1755214","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/490"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1755214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1755214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1755217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1755214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1755214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1755214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
