A congressional aide who worked for Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., as an IT specialist until he was arrested on fraud charges as he attempted to flee the country, is believed to have planted a laptop computer for police to find as part of an investigation into cybersecurity and theft.

Imran Awan, along with three family members and a friend, had access to sensitive congressional information while working on Capitol Hill where they made over $4 million by providing IT services to Democratic politicians since 2010.

Many have expressed concern over how Wasserman Schultz kept Awan on as an IT staffer even after a fraud investigation into Awan and his wife led other House Democrats to cut ties with him and bar him from accessing the House computer system.
