Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant


Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night, the secretary confirmed Monday.

Noem, who was asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, acknowledged the incident and said the matter has not been resolved.

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, a law enforcement source said.

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 Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments, the person added.

How in the hell did anyone get close enough to her to steal her bag? Another fantastic job by the secret service
 
Can't secure a freakin' handbag, I ain't got a whole lotta faith in your abilities regarding securing the country.

As a side note, I wonder what medications she's on.
 
The thief better leave the country. You can bet he will be caught especially if he had his cell phone on him.
 
Keep in mind the secret service under the Biden administration couldn't figure out who had cocaine in the White House.
(Even though the entire population of the U.S. knew who's it was)
 
let's see..........everything is in order. Funky hat, bullet proof vest, mean shooting machine, nails done just right, 50K gold watch. She's ready, willing and able. Can I get an Amen.

 

Suspect arrested in theft of US homeland security chief Kristi Noem's purse​

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A suspect has been arrested in connection with the theft of U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's purse at a Washington restaurant, the Secret Service said on Sunday, and Noem said the individual has been living in the United States illegally.

The Secret Service did not identify the suspect by name but said the individual was a serial offender who was not a threat to Noem, the former South Dakota governor who was appointed to her post by President Donald Trump.

The Washington Metropolitan Police Department said a 49-year-old man named Mario Bustamante Leiva was arrested on Saturday night and charged with two counts of robbery involving two separate incidents on April 12 and April 17. The purse snatching involving Noem was on April 20, Easter Sunday.

He is just a DC grandfather. Somebody will start a GoFundMe for him.
