Brinton is facing similar charges for allegedly stealing a bag at a Minnesota airport in September
The nonbinary Biden administration official who oversees nuclear waste policy was charged with grand larceny in Nevada, the second time they have been accused of theft in three months, according to state court records.
Samuel Brinton, the Department of Energy’s (DOE) deputy assistant secretary for spent fuel and waste disposition, was charged Thursday with grand larceny of an item valued between $1,200 and $5,000 by Las Vegas prosecutors. Records showed that an arrest warrant was issued for Brinton, one of the few federal officials to ever identify as nonbinary.
Few other details were provided in the records and the Clark County, Nevada, district attorney’s office declined to comment on the matter.
