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.

“Awan also was ordered to turn over all his passports. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Aug. 21.”
Me thinks the Keystone Cops, what we call the Feds, don’t no the half about all this guy’s Passports.
Ecuador for one... that’s why Assange is in their Embassy in London.
I'm starting to think Trump was providing his cover with his remarks.....kept the media busy....
We're still looking for leakers remember.
A great bag of popcorn.
Too bad she went all ga-ga over Barry.......oy vey.....
He was RELEASED....with a monitor....idiocy!
= = =
That GPS is a tracker. Will lead Killery, et.al., to the Awan’s nest. Then it might blow up????
See, watching all those Danish crime episodes on Netflix does have value.
[Bob’s your uncle!]
I’m sure you’re saying:
Hillary’s your aunt!
(yes I looked that up long ago - good one)
I’d say they’re looking for someone else and they have a tail on this guy. Screw the monitor. That’s a not so clever ploy. They have eyes on him.
[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.]
Oh, it would just be a ‘botched robbery’ that results in his death.
You know, like Seth Rich......a.k.a. “Russia”.
It's like Rumpelstiltskin.
A Kindergartener can get out of those!
“Incompetent “
Hardly, she is probably filthy rich and free as a bird. How many other well known felons (other rats aside) can say the same?
Could be. I dont believe it for a second but I understand why people would think it.
Ain't nut-n or nobody' gonna bring dashit down.
He’s probably halfway back to Packistan on a government Congressional jet.
So the $64 million questions are 1) how many RAT felonies will be exposed by reading the shattered drives and 2) how much were the Awan brothers extorting from the RATs to keep the incriminating e-mails from surfacing.

...Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz’s right-hand information technology (IT) aide was arrested attempting to leave the country just a few hours after The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group revealed that he is the target of an FBI investigation.
The employees had wired $283,000 from a House office building to two individuals in Pakistan, and carried $12,000 in cash on him at the airport...
...he was charged with bank fraud due to a mortgage scheme, which was one of several financial schemes TheDCNF has detailed. It appears to be a placeholder for future charges, spurred because of the attempt to leave the country, and does not mention his work for Congress, which is the investigation’s primary focus...
Could be the fix is in.
