Brinton\u2019s actions, along with your Department\u2019s lack of transparency when dealing with this matter, reflect poorly on the Department of Energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The letter was signed by 16 Republican members of Congress, including Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ), who recently <a href=\"https:\/\/dailywire.com\/news\/andy-biggs-to-challenge-kevin-mccarthy-for-speaker-position\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced a bid<\/a> to challenge Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) for Speaker of the House.<\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><a class=\"c-link\" tabindex=\"-1\" href=\"https:\/\/get.dailywire.com\/subscribe\/plus?utm_campaign=dwplus&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_source=dwsite&#038;cid=dwplus&#038;mid=z&#038;xid=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/get.dailywire.com\/subscribe\/plus?utm_campaign=dwplus&#038;utm_medium=editorial&#038;utm_source=dwsite&#038;cid=dwplus&#038;mid=z&#038;xid=0\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\" data-remove-tab-index=\"true\">TIRED OF THE LEGACY MEDIA\u2019S BIAS CONTROLLING THE NARRATIVE AND OBSCURING THE TRUTH?

The felony carries a penalty of up to five years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. The charge has led the Republican leaders to request a demand for Brinton\u2019s resignation and a response to the letter by December 20.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTherefore, we demand the resignation of Sam Brinton, and we implore you to set aside petty politics and appoint only the most qualified and dedicated individuals to influence America\u2019s energy sector,\u201d the letter concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Minneapolis-St. Paul (MSP) International Airport authorities previously <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/gender-fluid-biden-admin-official-placed-on-leave-after-being-charged-with-felony\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">confirmed<\/a> to The Daily Wire that an investigation involving Sam Brinton was underway.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint claimed that Brinton left the airport in an Uber on September 16 and checked into the InterContinental St. Paul Riverfront hotel with the blue bag. Brinton returned to the same airport two days later and flew back to Washington, D.C., with the same bag.<\/p>\n<p>The suitcase owner notified law enforcement that her bag was missing and listed the value of the luggage and contents at approximately $2,325.<\/p>\n<p>Brinton was confronted by police almost a month later and initially denied taking the suitcase. Brinton soon changed the account, claiming the luggage was taken by mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Brinton\u2019s addition to the Biden administration has not been without controversy. Brinton previously opened up about being gender-fluid in a Yahoo Life interview after being hired.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can\u2019t change my identity more than anyone can change intrinsic parts about themselves, but I can change my openness. And so I am given the opportunity to serve my country as I am, and that\u2019s a really important aspect of my work \u2014 because I work on nuclear waste management, where transparency and honesty and trust building are so critical,\u201d Brinton <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/lifestyle\/sam-brinton-first-openly-genderfluid-person-federal-government-174428142.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told<\/a> the outlet in October.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if I can\u2019t be myself, it\u2019s really hard to build those relationships. I\u2019m proud to say that, yes, I get to be the first openly genderfluid person in this type of government service, but I won\u2019t be the last,\u201d Brinton added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group of House Republicans is asking for non-binary Biden official Sam Brinton to be fired over the alleged theft of a woman\u2019s luggage at a Minneapolis airport.
