Imran Awan, an IT aide to Democrats including Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, pleaded guilty Tuesday to a single false statement charge after President Trump urged he not get lenient treatment.

He issued his plea in federal court in Washington, D.C. Tuesday, even as the government acknowledged it had no evidence he broke the law through his work dealing with servers and data for lawmakers as a House employee.

Trump had intervened on Twitter, asking that Awan not be let 'off the hook' and raising questions about possible data theft.

'The Government has uncovered no evidence that your client violated federal law with respect to the House computer system,' according to the plea, CNN reported.

Awan was being prosecuted on bank fraud charges – in a case that took on deeper potential implications stoked by the president.

But the charge he ultimately pleaded to was unrelated to his work for the U.S. House or for high-profile Democrats, despite efforts by Capitol Hill Republicans and the president to stir up the case.

One of his employers, Wasserman Schultz, was chair of the Democratic National Committee for much of the 2016 campaign. Wasserman Schultz grilled the chief of the Capitol police chief after investigators held onto her office server during the course of the investigation. She also resisted firing Awan for months despite the investigation.

'Our Justice Department must not let Awan & Debbie Wasserman Schultz off the hook,' Trump tweeted in June amid reports of a possible plea deal.

'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!' he wrote.

The government dropped fraud charges against awan's wife, Hina Alvi, Fox News reported. She left the country for Pakistan in advance of Awan's own effort to leave.

Prosecutors said they had interviewed 40 witnesses in the case and did a 'thorough investigation' including forensic computer analysis.

A sentencing hearing is set for August 21. Awan's lawyer said he would seek probation without a fine.

Trump also drove interest in the case by calling Awan 'the Pakistani mystery man.' He asked during a New York Times interview last year: 'Whatever happened to this Pakistani guy who worked with the DNC? ... With the two servers that they broke up into a million pieces?'

Trump went after his own Justice Department over the case last month.

Awan's lawyer, Christopher J. Gowen, pushed back after Trump's tweets.

"My client is not a 'spy,' nor part of a 'spy ring.' There has never been any missing server, smashed hard drives, blackmailed members of Congress, or breach of classified information. This was all made up, for purposes of clickbait, Fox News stories, and political opportunism,' he said, bashing 'repugnant behavior' at the top that he said 'displayed a complete lack of respect for law enforcement.'

Trump tweeted about the case, involving a former aide to Florida Democratic Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a day after Fox News reported the aide and his wife were poised to execute a plea deal with the government.

'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 wrote.

According to a court filing on Tuesday, Imran Awan, the former IT staffer for Wasserman Schultz and other Democrats, and his wife Hina Alvi have a July 3 court hearing about the agreement.

'The parties are currently exploring a possible resolution of this matter,' according to the filing by prosecutors, Fox News reported. 'Therefore, the parties are requesting additional time in which to explore that resolution.'

It is unusual for a president to intervene in sensitive negotiations between parties in an active court case.

Trump regularly attacked Wasserman Schultz during the campaign, when she ran the Democratic National Committee, and the DNC's hacked emails got posted online.

The case has repeatedly been postponed over the last six months, stoking theories that there is more to the case than meets the eye.

Awan and his wife have been charged with bank fraud, although some conservative web sites have raised theories that a computer server going missing and possible theft and potential security breach of congressional emails.

When Trump invoked the server, it was unclear whether he was referring to a congressional computer. He has also blasted Democrats for not turning over the DNC's server to the FBI when a hack was first reported.

'What ever happened to the Server, at the center of so much Corruption, that the Democratic National Committee REFUSED to hand over to the hard charging (except in the case of Democrats) FBI?' Trump tweeted in May, in reference to the DNC server.

But GOP Rep. Scott Perry of Pennsylvania in the Fox report raised concerns about a server belonging to former Rep. Xavier Becerra of California, for whom Awan also worked.

'Over 5,700 logins by the five Awan associates were discovered on a single server within the House, the server of the Democratic Caucus Chairman, then Rep. Xavier Becerra of California. Up to 40 or more members of Congress had all of their data moved out their office servers and onto the Becerra server without their knowledge or consent,' he said in an opinion piece on Fox that suggests national security or terror implications to the case.

Prosecutors say the couple got home equity loans based on properties that in fact were rentals, not their home. Awan's lawyers say he was not involved in a cyber breach.

Last year Wasserman Schultz threatened 'consequences' to the chief of the Capitol Police when investigators refused to return a computer belonging to her congressional office as it investigated the case.

Trump also this week attacked Attorney General Jeff Sessions and again branded the Mueller probe a 'witch hunt.'
