SURPRISE: Wasserman Schultz Avoiding Reporters Since Awan Arrest. “Awan, who was arrested as he attempted to travel to Pakistan on Tuesday at Dulles airport, previously worked as a shared IT employee for Democrats at the U.S. Capitol with other family members until last February when the group was investigated by Capitol Hill Police for breaching security protocols and stealing equipment. Although Awan and his relatives lost their jobs with Democratic lawmakers, Wasserman Schultz kept him on her payroll until the day of his arrest.”
