Samuel Brinton was charged with felony theft in October.
The Biden administration on Friday refused to say whether top nuclear waste official Samuel Brinton is still receiving a government salary after being charged with theft.
Court documents filed in late October allege that Brinton took the suitcase from a baggage carousel. Security camera footage reportedly shows the staffer removing the bag’s name label before absconding and using the bag for a month.Brinton reportedly used the suitcase for a month before being contacted by police.When a police officer called to discuss the incident a month later, Brinton initially denied any wrongdoing.
A few hours later, however, Brinton amended their statement, saying that they took the bag by accident due to exhaustion. When they got to their hotel and realized it was not theirs, they worried that someone would think they stole it, and disposed of the person’s clothes in the drawers of the hotel dresser.Sam Brinton/Instagram
