FIRST ON THE DAILY SIGNAL: The U.S. Department of Energy appears to have parted ways with Sam Brinton, the nonbinary Biden administration nuclear official who is facing charges for allegedly stealing two pieces of luggage at two separate airports.
“Sam Brinton is no longer a DOE employee,” a Department of Energy spokesperson told The Daily Signal in an email Monday afternoon. “By law, the Department of Energy cannot comment further on personnel matters.”
The spokesperson did not respond to a follow-up email by press time. The department did not clarify whether Brinton had resigned or been fired. The termination of Brinton’s employment had not been previously reported.
The Daily Signal reached out for comment after Dr. Joseph Nicolosi Jr. a licensed therapist and founder of the Reintegrative Therapy Association, drew attention to the apparent contradictions in Brinton’s claims to have undergone “conversion therapy.”
