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, two sources familiar with the incident, including a law enforcement source, told CNN.
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.
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 law enforcement source said.

Why was she carrying around $3k? Nothing illegal about that but that is a little curious.
Bribe money
That’s where your mind goes?
It’s for coke
That sounds more likely.
They aren't mutually exclusive. Maybe it's a bribe she received that she planned to spend on coke?
Now I hadn’t thought that the bribe was for her
I believe this too.
3000$ is enough for lots of coke, but probably not enough to bribe a politician / bureaucrat at her level.
She claims she took out that money to celebrate Easter with family... for dinner, activities, and gifts.
I use a credit card for such things, but yeah.
I guess in her defense, if you're involved in the destruction of the U.S. economy, you never know when the economy might collapse and credit cards will no longer be accepted.
Still, you would think she would just carry around bars of solid gold or something.
She should be paying in Euro then. Never know when the USD is going to collapse.
That was Menendez. Don't confuse your corrupt offials.
Seems like Secretary Gnoem would have put her full faith behind Bitcoin
to be fair cash is accepted at more food trucks and makes a better gift than credit cards.
It's illegal if the cop who finds it on you says it's illegal.
Maybe just because Trump's inner circle is making enough money right now that that's just walking around money to her.
Even so, rich people usually don't carry wads of cash like that unless they are paying somebody under the table.
Doesn't prove it was for something illegal, but let's not pretend it doesn't look weird AF
Yeah, definitely. Could be something illegal. Could just be something she doesn't want showing up on shared credit card receipts.
You think she's paying a honey boy?
There's a lot of things it could be, some of which are eyebrow raising. But as you said, usually when someone is carrying that much cash, there's a reason.
