Feds picked up Imran Awan at Dulles Aiport last night as he was "trying to leave the country." h/t @ChadPergram — Thomas Paine (@Thomas1774Paine) July 25, 2017

The Bad news for Democrats: Imran Awan, the right-hand IT staffer of embattled Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, has been arrested while trying to sneak out of the country. He is facing bank fraud charges.

The good news for Awan: He is still on Wasserman-Schultz’s federally-backed payroll, according to federal treasury sources. It appears even during a criminal investigation and possible manhunt, Awan was drawing a stipend or some type of expense-related salary that Wasserman approved, or failed to stop, sources said.

He was carrying $12,000 in cash when arrested and had recently wired over $200,000 to Pakistan prior to his arrest.

Awan and his two brothers are at the center of a criminal investigation which impacts dozens of Democratic lawmakers.

Wasserman also has failed to terminate the employment agreements with the Awan brothers and officially they remain on Wasserman’s payroll despite the fact that one is now in custody and the other brothers remain at large.
