Ex-Department of Energy (DOE) employee Sam Brinton accepted a plea deal after stealing expensive luggage and clothing from an African fashion designer.
Brinton made headlines as one of the first non-binary and gender-fluid members of the Biden administration. He was ultimately charged with grand larceny because the items cost several thousands of dollars.
The clothes were found while police executed a search warrant at Brinton’s residence. (Trending: Proof That Joe Biden Took Bribes)

The items were returned to owner Asya Khamsin by the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) Police Department after she confirmed they had come from luggage the Tanzanian designer lost while at the Ronald Reagan National Airport.
MWAA spokesperson Crystal Nosal told Fox News Digital that “The MWAA Police Department can confirm we returned the victim’s property and police retained photos of the evidence for prosecution.”
“The case is still under adjudication and we cannot release more detailed information,” she added.
The clothing, reportedly worth over $1,000, landed Brinton with a charge of felony grand larceny, and the hearing will take place at the end of the year.
While being interview by Fox News Digital, Khamsin said she had noticed the clothing on Brinton in photographs she came across in news articles. (Trending: 22 Chilling Facts About Biden’s Impeachment)
“I saw the images. Those were my custom designs, which were lost in that bag in 2018,” Khamsin said. “He wore my clothes, which was stolen.”
To make matters worse, the theft of the custom clothing ultimately kept Khamsin from the ability to display the items at a private event in D.C.
Khamsin filed a report with Houston law enforcement as soon as she noticed the custom designs in the photos of Brinton. (Trending: Kari Lake Blasts ‘Woke’ NFL)
“The MWAA returned to Asyakhamsin various parcels of retrieved clothing after the search warrant was executed. These items were returned in sealed evidence bags,” Peter Hansen, Khamsin’s attorney, told Fox News.
