Senator demands answers from Biden admin over Sam Brinton's luggage theft on taxpayer-funded trip
Fox News
The Department of Energy is facing a congressional probe following a Fox Digital report that showed non-binary former senior official Sam Brinton committed a crime on official travel.
"Far from a faithful execution of duties, Sam Brinton used taxpayer dollars to facilitate theft from the very public DOE is bound to serve," Barrasso wrote to Granholm. "Though Brinton is no longer a DOE employee, there are continuing concerns about potential criminality committed during Brinton’s employment at DOE." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"The press has reported on three alleged thefts carried out by Brinton. This criminal activity represents a disturbing pattern of behavior. It is therefore important to discover whether or not Brinton carried out additional thefts while on DOE-sponsored travel," the GOP senator added. "As Sam Brinton’s employer, your department is liable for Brinton’s criminal misconduct committed while on official travel."
