Debbie Wasserman Schultz Fires Aide Arrested Trying to Flee Country

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) has fired an aide who was arrested on Monday at Dulles International Airport seemingly attempting to flee the United States. Imran Awan, who worked for Wasserman Schultz and several other Democrats for 12 years, was an IT aide. He is accused of double-charging the House of Representatives for IT equipment, and possibly for exposing sensitive House information online. Awan has been charged with bank fraud. He was born in Pakistan.

In March, he was fired by other House members, yet was still being paid by Wasserman Schultz until his arrest on Monday.

Per the Daily Caller, Awan transferred about $300,000 to an account in Pakistan in January. His wife was stopped at Dulles when it was found that she had $12,000 in her suitcase, but she was permitted to board the plane.

Investigators discovered smashed hard drives and other damaged equipment at Awan's house in Virginia. Awan left his home after he learned he was under investigation, and one of his new tenants discovered the broken hard drives and reported them to authorities. The FBI has since confiscated the equipment.

One of new tenants — a Marine Corps veteran married to a female Navy Officer — said he found “wireless routers, hard drives that look like they tried to destroy, laptops, [and] a lot of brand new expensive toner.”
The tenants called the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, and not long after, FBI agents arrived together with the Capitol Police to interview them and confiscate the equipment. The Marine spoke on condition of anonymity because of concerns for his wife’s naval career, saying she doesn’t want to be associated with a national security incident.

Stay tuned on this one...it seems as though this is just the beginning.

Report: FBI Investigating Smashed Hard Drives Retrieved from Wasserman Schultz’s Pakistani-Born IT Worker’s Home

The Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) is reportedly investigating several smashed hard drives seized from the home of two Pakistan-born brothers who worked as IT workers for former DNC chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL).
“The suspects in this probe are people who worked for a long time for Democratic members in the House,” Daily Caller investigative reporter Luke Rosiak reportedly told FOX Business Network. “Brothers named Imran Awan, Abid Awan and Jamal Awan and they are criminal suspects,” Rosiak said. “Imran worked for Debbie Wasserman Schultz for a long time.”

Breitbart News previously reported that a federal employee with knowledge of the situation told the Daily Caller in May, “A laptop used by Imran was hidden in an unused crevice of the Rayburn House Office Building” and was found by Capitol Police and seized for use in the criminal investigation against him. The Daily Caller further noted, “Wasserman Schultz’s office is in Longworth House Office Building, a separate structure.”

The laptop was reportedly found hidden in a little-used section of the Rayburn House Office Building and was later seized by Capitol Police in the criminal investigation against him.

Shortly after the laptop was seized, Wasserman Schultz reportedly threatened Capitol Police with “consequences” if they did not return equipment that she said belonged to her and was being used to Imran Awan.

Breitbart News previously reported that “[t]he Pakistani-born Awan, who was working as a technology administrator for the Florida lawmaker, is being investigated for alleged involvement in several massive cyber security breaches and transferring sensitive congressional data offsite.”

Awan had reportedly managed to bankroll $4 million for himself and several of his relatives since 2010.

Shortly after news of the FBI investigation broke on Tuesday, several media outlets learned that Imran Awan was arrested at Dulles Airport Monday night trying to flee the United States. He was arrested for multiple counts of bank fraud and surrendered his passport.

The Daily Caller’s Rosiak said one of the allegations against the brothers Awan was that “they were sending information to an offsite server and when you look at their backgrounds, these guys have been accused of fraud repeatedly in civil lawsuits.”

Wasserman Schultz, much to the confusion of the public, reportedly fought with Capitol Police to allow the brothers to gain access to their laptops instead of expressing concern over the fact that her IT personnel were allegedly hacking sensitive information.

The Daily Caller had reported that Wasserman Schultz “inexplicably protected” Awan when news of the scandal first broke.
