A senator demanded the Department of Energy (DOE) investigate its security clearance process after ousting a nonbinary nuclear waste official.
Sam Brinton was the gender-fluid deputy assistant secretary of the Biden administration’s Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition. He now faces 10 years imprisonment, accused of stealing luggage valued at greater than $3,600 from a Las Vegas airport.
Brinton has been charged with a similar crime for allegedly stealing a designer roller bag from the Minneapolis-St. Paul airport.
