Wasserman Schultz was the last representative to fire Awan and only did so after he was arrested while trying to flee the country.

In a statement released in July, Wasserman Schultz explained that she did not fire Awan until after he was arrested because up until then, her office did not believe he had done anything illegal.

"After details of the investigation were reviewed with us, my office was provided no evidence to indicate that laws had been broken, which over time, raised troubling concerns about due process, fair treatment and potential ethnic and religious profiling," Wasserman Schultz said, as reported by the Miami Herald.

Andre Taggart, a U.S. Marine who rented a home owned by Awan in Virginia, is a witness in the investigation, and told The Daily Caller that he felt Wasserman Schultz was "crying wolf" when it came to bigotry concerns.

"I just want to get these [guys] locked up and exposed and now," Taggart said. "The people who facilitated them should also be locked up, as far as I'm concerned."

Taggart found a cache hard drives and electronics left behind by Imran in the garage of the house that he's renting and alerted the FBI.
