“My name is Asyakhamsin tanzanian fashion designer based in Houston Texas USA I lost my bag 2018 in DCA recently I heard the news on @FoxNews about @sambrinton luggage issue surprisingly I found his images wore my custom made outfitswhich was in the lost bag on 2018,” 

Asya, speaking to Fox said her bag went missing when she was heading to Washington Dc for a display event. As a result of the unfortunate incident, she lost the opportunity and even though her husband filed a report at that time, nothing was ever recovered.

Brinton is no stranger when it comes to hitting the headlines. The controversial MIT graduate — was tapped by the White House in Jan. 2022 to serve as the deputy assistant secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Office of Nuclear Energy. They were, however, placed on leave, and eventually fired due to misconduct.

According to Fox News, Brinton has recently been charged with stealing a woman’s luggage at Minneapolis airport in September 2022. The contents of the luggage were valued at Sh290,000 ($2,325). Not long after their arrest, Brinton was charged again for stealing another woman’s suitcase in an earlier incident at Las Vegas’ Harry Reid International Airport.

They, (the police) also said that the suitcase contained more than Sh440,000 ($3,500) worth of clothing, make-up, and jewelry. Security footage shows Brinton walking through Harry Reid International Airport with the luggage in July 2022.
