Jennifer Hegseth is not a Defense Department employee but has taken an unusually active role for a spouse in Pentagon affairs, appearing at some official meetings.

I would like to know if SecDef was at the meetings his wife attended.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s bag, including $3,000 in cash, is stolen from DC restaurant

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a downtown Washington, DC, restaurant Sunday night, the secretary confirmed Monday.

Noem, who was asked about the theft at the White House Easter Egg Roll, acknowledged the incident and said the matter has not been resolved.

The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the Capital Burger restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source said.

The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.

The Secret Service has launched an investigation to trace any use of Noem’s financial instruments, the person added.

“Her entire family was in town including her children and grandchildren – she was using the withdrawal to treat her family to dinner, activities, and Easter gifts,” a DHS spokesperson said.

CNN’s Priscilla Alvarez contributed to this report.

I'm sorry but who carries $3k in cash? Who carries cash these days? Didn't she have a credit card she could use to pay for the restaurant? If that had been a black or brown person caught carrying that kind of cash they'd be on their way to El Salvador.

Just saying...

Credit card payments are easy to track for the IRS. Cash is harder.
And some people simply do not like to carry cards and other modern financial tools that leave a trace. You know, she may have had a date with Jive Miguel later that night.
(Just joking)

Someone who has to use the cash bribe somehow?

So is she the bag lady and because her family was said to be there a report was made?

Not just her entire family being there, but it was for "activities", dinner, and EASTER GIFTS FOR CHILDREN. CHILDREN!!! Oh the humanity.....

The last time I had that much cash at home was more than two decades ago.

To be honest I knew that there was no way he saw all of that pageantry when he was awake and didn't think he should be getting the same treatment.
