Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse was stolen with thousands in cash on Sunday night at a restaurant in Washington D.C., multiple sources from the agency confirmed to Fox News Digital.
The purse was taken by a White man wearing a mask, and the bag contained $3,000 in cash as well as personal documents including her passport, keys, driver’s license and a DHS badge, an agency spokesperson confirmed.
“Her entire family was in town including her children and grandchildren – she was using the withdrawal to treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts,” the spokesperson said.
Who walks around with $3,000 in cash ? Drug dealers I’d guess; maybe some
small business owners that are doing deposits. Just seems like a poor choice to
carry that much cash around when going out socially.
She has a SS detail, and someone got close enough to steal her bag, lots of security questions. Also, where did she get her gangster roll? Does she not carry credit cards?
My first thought was $3k was a lot of cash, but for Easter gifts and dining for the whole extended family at an expensive DC restaurant I can see it. On Easter our party of 3 spent $300 for 1 drink each, appetizers and entrees at Eddie V’s in Austin. It’s nice but still a chain and Texas prices. Cash would also preclude the inquiries sure to come up about a government account paying for it. Still where was her security?
What are you talking about? She would still have her own bank accounts and credit lines that are in her own name and completely separate from any government pay card she might have access to. Carrying that much cash around is sus af.
