Chris Gowen, Awan's attorney, told The Washington Examiner in an interview published Monday that he believes a political agenda is driving the case against his client.

"It's confusing to us why this case is even being prosecuted," Gowen said. "It's not the type of case that would usually be prosecuted at the U.S. attorney level because there's been no loss [to the loan originators]."

Gowen blamed the focus on his client's case on "made up stories by right-wing reporters and bloggers," adding that it's "just ludicrous to suggest that they'd have any access to classified information."
