A report from the hill says Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) laid into the chief of Capitol Hill police on Wednesday, demanding he return a piece of equipment that’s currently being used as evidence in an investigation, per the Daily Caller.

The equipment is part of an investigation into a former democratic aide who’s accused of violating the House intel network.

“My understanding is the the Capitol Police is not able to confiscate Members’ equipment when the Member is not under investigation,” Wasserman Schultz said in the annual police budget hearing of the House Committee On Appropriations’ Legislative Branch Subcommittee.

The Police Chief stood his ground on the issue.

“We can’t return the equipment,” Police Chief Matthew R. Verderosa told the Florida Democrat.

DWS was relentless.

“I think you’re violating the rules when you conduct your business that way and you should expect that there will be consequences,” Wasserman Schultz said.

The exchange is reportedly “highly unusual” for a meeting of this nature, as the conversation happened in the midst of a budget hearing for the Capitol police force.

“If a Member loses equipment and it is found by your staff and identified as that member’s equipment and the member is not associated with any case, it is supposed to be returned. Yes or no?” she said. — Advertisement — Police tell her it is important to “an ongoing investigation,” but presses for its return anyway.

A federal employee spoke anonymously to the Daily Caller, suggesting the piece of equipment in question might be a laptop.

A federal employee with knowledge of the situation and who requested anonymity told The Daily Caller News Foundation’s Investigative Group that as House authorities closed in on Imran Awan and his brothers, a laptop used by Imran was hidden in an unused crevice of the Rayburn House Office Building. Wasserman Schultz’s office is in Longworth House Office Building, a separate structure.

The laptop was taken by Capitol police.
