Miller - The Washington Times - Thursday, July 27, 2017 The White House called Thursday for a thorough investigation related to the arrest of an IT staffer for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz who remained on the job and with congressional computer access for about five months after FBI began investigating him for fraud. “I do think it is something we should fully look into and there should be a thorough investigation,” said White House press secretary Sarah Sanders. Mrs. Wasserman Shultz, former chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, fired the staffer, Pakistan-born Imran Awan, after he was arrested Monday at Dulles Airport outside Washington trying to flee the country. The Florida congresswoman also told investigators there would be “consequences” if Mr Awan’s laptop seized by police was not promptly returned to her office. Mr. Awan, 37, of Lorton, Virginia, pleaded not guilty to a charge of bank fraud and was released on strict conditions that he remain at home and wear a GPS monitoring device.
