A man accused of stealing a purse from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was charged Monday in federal court with aggravated identity theft, robbery and fraud.
Video captured Mario Bustamante Leiva taking Noem's purse while she dined at a restaurant in Washington, D.C., on April 20 under the protection of Secret Service agents, investigators said. He later used Noem's stolen credit cards to buy over $200 in food and alcohol at a different restaurant, according to a Secret Service agent's affidavit.
