Sam Brinton, the former Energy Department official who was fired for stealing designer luggage at a Las Vegas airport, was on a taxpayer-funded trip during the bag grab, according to internal Biden administration documents.
The paperwork obtained by government watchdog group Functional Government Initiative showed that taxpayers footed a $1,950 bill for Brinton’s trip to the DOE-operated Nevada National Security Site near Las Vegas in early July 2022.
