The Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department revealed on Tuesday that they had recovered an extensive collection of women’s clothes while executing a search warrant at the home of former Department of Energy official Sam Brinton in May. Brinton, known for his nonbinary gender identity, bizarre sexual fetishes, and habit of stealing women’s luggage in airports, was found to be in possession of various designer outfits, including some stolen from Tanzanian fashion designer Asya Khamsin in 2018.
As Valuetainment previously reported, Sam Brinton, who uses “non-binary” they/them pronouns, identifies as gender-fluid, dresses in drag, and boasts publicly about his “puppy roleplay fetish,” was appointed as the Biden administration’s deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in June of last year. While in that role, he drew extensive criticism from the Right over his appearances at White House functions in dresses and high heels, as well as his promotion of various “kink seminars.”
In December 2022, Brinton was fired from the Department of Energy over reports that he had been caught on camera stealing a woman’s suitcase from a Las Vegas airport in July of that year, making off with approximately $3,670 in makeup, jewelry, and clothes. Shortly after, Brinton was charged with two more instances of luggage theft, first at Minneapolis-St. Paul Airport in Minnesota and then again for a theft that allegedly took place in 2018 at Reagan National Airport in Virginia.

In the 2018 theft, the stolen suitcase belonged to Asya Khamsin, a female fashion designer from Tanzania who identified her one-of-a-kind designs in various photos of Brinton at public events. “I saw the images. Those were my custom designs, which were lost in that bag in 2018,” Khamsin said at the time. “He wore my clothes, which was stolen.”
After discovering the stolen items in Brinton’s Maryland home earlier this year, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority Police Department returned the clothes to their rightful owner. “The MWAA Police Department can confirm we returned the victim’s property and police retained photos of the evidence for prosecution,” MWAA spokesperson Crystal Nosal said to Fox News. “The case is still under adjudication and we cannot release more detailed information.”
Brinton has so far escaped jail time for the Minneapolis and Las Vegas thefts, instead paying fines, undergoing mental health evaluations, and writing apology letters to the victims. His third case, for which he was arrested immediately after the search warrant was executed, will not be heard in court until December.
Khamsin filed an additional civil lawsuit against Brinton on Friday.
