Wait, the DOE is in charge of our nuclear weapons?

Yep. Bill Clinton's decision.

Made it much easier for China to acquire the technology.

Recall that Clinton's first Sec'y of Energy, Hazel O'Leary, was offended by the color-coded security badges at Los Alamos. Said they were discriminatory. As a consequence, everybody was issued the same badge.

Bill Clinton was not even born when Truman signed the order to move control of the atomic program from the military (Manhattan Project) to the Atomic Energy Commission (now the Department of Energy). Clinton might have been a year old when the formal transfer was completed.
