Ex-Biden Official Sam Brinton's Troubles Got Significantly Worse After Police Searched His Home

Police have recently returned articles of clothing to Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin, acquired during a search warrant execution at the residence of disgraced former Department of Energy (DOE) official, Sam Brinton.

This new development comes amidst a controversial saga involving Brinton, allegations of theft, and a string of legal entanglements.

The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) Police Department has verified the return of Khamsin’s belongings, which she asserts were previously worn by Brinton, but had been reported missing from her possession at Ronald Reagan National Airport several years ago. In May, MWAA law enforcement officers conducted a search of Brinton’s Maryland residence in connection with the case.

MWAA spokesperson Crystal Nosal disclosed, “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.”

Following the execution of the search warrant, Brinton faced charges of felony grand larceny for items exceeding $1,000 in value. The preliminary hearing for this case, filed in Arlington General District Court, was subsequently postponed until December.

In February, coinciding with MWAA Police’s awareness of Brinton’s alleged involvement in the theft at Ronald Reagan National Airport, Khamsin revealed to Fox News Digital that she had observed photographs in news reports featuring Brinton wearing clothing bearing her custom designs.

Khamsin further asserted that these very clothes had disappeared with her bag on March 9, 2018, at the same airport. She stated, “I saw the images. Those were my custom designs, which were lost in that bag in 2018. He wore my clothes, which was stolen.”

Khamsin had flown to Washington, D.C., with the intent of showcasing her clothing at an event but was thwarted by the vanishing bag. She duly filed reports with both the MWAA and Delta Air Lines, yet her case remained unresolved.

Do you think Brinton should go to jail?

Subsequently, upon learning about Brinton’s alleged thefts of luggage from airport carousels, Khamsin filed a report with Houston police, given her current residence. This report was later forwarded to the FBI.

Peter Hansen, an attorney representing Khamsin, confirmed that the MWAA had returned her recovered clothing in sealed evidence bags.

Concurrently, Khamsin initiated a civil lawsuit against Brinton, further complicating his legal predicament.

Meanwhile, Brinton, who gained notoriety for being appointed to a DOE position overseeing nuclear waste policy as a non-binary gender-fluid person, narrowly avoided incarceration in two distinct cases involving luggage thefts in Minnesota and Nevada.

In October, Brinton faced charges of stealing baggage worth a total of $2,325 from the luggage carousel at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport, following a flight from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Subsequently, in early December, Las Vegas prosecutors accused Brinton of grand larceny for allegedly pilfering a suitcase with an estimated value of $3,670 at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas.

The suitcase contained jewelry valued at $1,700, clothing worth $850, and $500 worth of makeup. It’s worth noting that Brinton was on an official taxpayer-funded trip to the Nevada National Security Site at the time of this alleged theft.

In both cases, Brinton faced a potential cumulative sentence of up to 15 years. However, judges presiding over these matters determined that jail time was not warranted.

The DOE, on December 12, announced Brinton’s departure from the agency but did not provide details regarding the reasons behind it.
