A 2018 tweet from the president decried reports that Imran Awan, a Pakistani IT technician who worked for dozens of Democratic lawmakers over the years, is on the cusp of reaching a plea deal in a federal court case. “Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook. The Democrat I.T. scandal is a key to much of the corruption we see today. They want to make a “plea deal” to hide what is on their Server. Where is Server? Really bad!” Trump posted to Twitter Thursday morning.
Awan was arrested last year for bank fraud and double charging for House IT equipment. Following a number of delays, Fox News reported Wednesday that court filings indicate he's pushing for a plea deal with prosecutors.
Wasserman Schultz was chair of the DNC at the time of the hack and resigned in the summer of 2016 amid controversy over leaked emails that exposed the DNC's underhanded efforts to stifle Sen. Bernie Sanders' popularity during the primary.
The DNC denied requests by the FBI to inspect its hacked servers, then-FBI Director James Comey testified to lawmakers in early 2017. Instead, the organization opted for a private company to do the inspection. According to the legal complaint, the DNC said to remedy the hack they had to “decommission more than 140 servers, removed and reinstall software, including the operating systems, for more than 180 computers, and rebuild at least 11 servers.”
Now Trump is questioning what happened to the servers and why they were decommissioned before the Justice Department was able to review what was on them.
