A House IT staffer at the center of a congressional computer equipment scandal has been arrested by federal officials and charged with bank fraud, Fox News has learned.
Fox News is told officers and agents from the U.S. Capitol Police, the FBI and Customs and Border Protection were involved in the arrest of Imran Awan at Dulles International Airport.
Awan, 37, of Virginia, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to one count of bank fraud during his arraignment in federal court in Washington, D.C. He was released but will have to wear a GPS monitor and abide by a curfew.
Awan also was ordered to turn over all his passports. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 21.
Law enforcements authorities for months have been looking into how Awan may have double-billed the House for equipment like computers, iPads, monitors, keyboards and routers. Several relatives of Awan worked for House Democrats and were fired months ago. Awan, however, was kept on staff by Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., even though he was no longer allowed access to the House server network.
Wasserman Schultz, though, has now fired Awan. Spokesman David Damron said Tuesday in a statement.

Imran?GUILTY.
This should be interesting.
I assume none of the network evening news reported this. And they won’t report it tomorrow because it will be ‘old’.
So it never happened...
What took so long? George Webb has reported on this for several months. He did all of the leg work.
It took the Washerwoman SIX MONTHS to fire the POS. Debbie is among the most dishonest, incompetent, and scummy individuals in our govt, and that is saying a lot.
This is a Muslim
A muzzy. Why did Dws hire a muzzy?
It’s not worth starting a new thread about, but in this article, two of the compromised Democrat congressmen are already out defending Awan. It matters not, they are dirty and the evidence is already in the hands of investigators. At least they had the sense to try to separate themselves from Imran in March, unlike DWS who he was still “working for”. In reality he probably was still on her payroll because he was blackmailing her with threats to tell what he knows. So now I hope they take very good care of him, with extra guards and a food-taster in jail - so nothing happens to him before he has a chance to consider possible plea deals. If he were to sing it could be like a full opera!
Robert Mueller was head of the FBI when Awan set up hs spy ring on the Congressional payroll.

Good to know where the bar is set. Hacking, espionage, and theft were not enough.
Well, this now means Awan and Weiner had better start talking. This might be enough to bring the whole swamp down.
A muzzy. Why did Dws hire a muzzy?
Same reason many politicians treat muzzies as a protected class.
Follow the money. No doubt hired at the request of a muzzie campaign donor.
So one has to wonder if the double bill is how they were paying him for something else
It’s foolish of them to hire a Paki to hack , they are sloppy hackers .
“He was released but will have to wear a GPS monitor...”
Bob’s your uncle!
Excuse me??????
I bet he some how take the monitor off and still runs.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This could be the red pill.
There is one way this plays out where this Awan guy knows too much and DWS/Dems/Hillary sends the goon-squad to make sure he keeps his mouth shut...like...because he’s dead.
That would certainly explain trying to leave the country.
