Debbie Wasserman Schultz's IT Staffer Imran Awan Investigation: 5 Updates You Should Know
Awan's Wife Has Agreed to Return to the US
Although Awan was arrested by the FBI at Dulles International Airport in July as he tried to board a plane to Pakistan, his wife, Hina Alvi, had already successfully fled the United States.
The Washington Examiner reported last week that Alvi, who also had access to sensitive congressional content, has struck a deal with prosecutors and will appear at an arraignment.

"A document filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia indicates that federal prosecutors have struck a deal with Alvi that would allow her to return to the U.S., but would also require her to surrender her passport and afterwards not book any international travel," noted the Examiner.
"The deal only surrounds how Alvi will turn herself in, and is structured so that she can avoid being arrested in front of her children when she returns to the U.S. [from Pakistan] 'during the last week of September 2017.'"
Imran and Alvi were indicted on charges of "conspiracy to obtain home equity lines of credit from the Congressional Federal Credit Union by giving false information about two properties — and then sending the proceeds to individuals in Pakistan," Fox News reported.
