In addition to the cash, the purse contained several other important belongings, including her passport, makeup bag, blank checks, driver’s license, apartment key, keys, medication, and her DHS access card, according to reports by CNN and ABC News.

Secret Service reviewing situation

CNN reported that the US Secret Service had reviewed security footage showing an unidentified white male, wearing a medical mask, walking past Secretary Noem’s table and snatching the bag. While the identity of the suspect has not been revealed, the footage has become a central piece in the ongoing investigation.

The Secret Service is actively looking into the theft, a spokesperson told CNBC, but declined to provide additional details, instead deferring comment to the Department of Homeland Security. The agency continues to gather information surrounding the incident and has not yet announced any leads or suspects publicly.

When asked about the theft, Noem stated that the situation is “not resolved yet.”

She also mentioned in an interview with NBC News that the Secret Service is aware of what happened but she had not yet spoken to them directly about it.
