Judging by the still not infrequent "civil asset forfeiture" news stories, more than just Noem. Difference is, in Noem's case, it's not cops stealing it.

Had it been a story about Hegseth, I'd have assumed he was on his way to a strip club (or on his way back from a meeting with his FSB handler …though, that could probably apply to most of Trump's administrative heads).
