(WASHINGTON) — Department of Homeland Security Seceretary Kristi Noem’s purse was stolen at a Washington restaurant over the weekend, according to a DHS official.
Noem had $3,000 in cash in her purse, along with her passport, makeup bag, DHS access card, apartment key and other items.
A DHS official said the secretary had the cash because her family was in town and she was treating them to Easter festivities.
A man wearing a mask walked by the secretary’s table and snatched the purse. The Secret Service is investigating, according to the DHS official.
