Ammon News - U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem had her handbag - with $3,000 (£2,260) in cash inside - stolen from her while dining at a Washington, DC, restaurant.

Noem confirmed during the White House Easter Egg Roll on Monday morning that she fell victim to the theft, saying the matter had not been "resolved yet".

Her bag contained several personal items in addition to the cash, including her driver's license, passport and DHS access badge, law enforcement sources told BBC's US partner CBS News.

The Secret Service has launched an investigation into the theft. BBC
