Trump draws attention to case against ex-Dem IT aide Imran Awan
[FOXNEWS] President Trump is drawing attention to the mysterious federal court case against Imran Awan, the former IT aide to a number of congressional Democrats, including former Democratic National Committee chairman Debbie Wasserman-Schultz
...Congresswoman from Florida, the abrasive chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee. She has been a politician since 1992, and prior to that was in training as a political science major. Her primary accomplishment seems to be that she's Jewish....
"Whatever happened to this Pak guy who worked with the DNC?" the president asked in an interview published Thursday by the New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
It sounds like the NYT interview was considerably more useful to getting out President Trump’s message than the Times intended.
A grand jury in August returned an indictment in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia charging Awan and his wife, Hina Alvi, with a total of four counts, which included federal bank fraud and conspiracy. Awan has pleaded not guilty
"Wudn't me."
 to all charges.

"Whatever happened to them?" Trump continued. "With the two servers that they broke up into a million pieces? Whatever happened to him?"

The president brought up the case while denying any collusion between his campaign and the Russians during the 2016 election.

Awan has not been charged with anything specific to his IT duties in Congress. But the case has drawn interest from Republican politicians because of Awan’s role for prominent Democrats and the access he had to sensitive data.

Awan and other IT aides for House Democrats had been on Sherlocks’ radar for months over concerns of alleged equipment theft, access to sensitive computer systems and more, according to reports dating back to early 2017.

Awan and his wife are facing allegations they engaged in a conspiracy to obtain home equity lines of credit from the Congressional Federal Credit Union by giving false information about two properties ‐ and sending the proceeds to individuals in Pakistain.
