Imran Awan, the former IT aide to congressional Democrats whose federal court case has drawn the interest of President Trump and other Republicans, pleaded guilty Tuesday to federal bank fraud in a plea deal as prosecutors said they "uncovered no evidence" that Awan "violated federal law with respect to the House computer systems."
During a hearing before U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan in Washington, Awan pleaded guilty to making a false statement on a loan application. As part of the deal, the prosecution dropped fraud charges against Awan's wife, Hina Alvi.
The case has generated interest from Republicans on Capitol Hill, who have suggested Awan could have been involved in a cyber breach operation. But prosecutors said Tuesday they investigated allegations of misconduct by Awan while on the job in Congress and determined federal charges were not warranted.
"Particularly, the government has found no evidence that your client illegally removed House data from the House network or from House Members' offices, stole the House Democratic Caucus Server, stole or destroyed House information technology equipment, or improperly accessed or transferred government information, including classified or sensitive information," the prosecution said in the plea deal.
Prosecutors said the government conducted a “thorough investigation of those allegations.”
The government interviewed 40 witnesses, took custody of the House Democratic Caucus server and other devices, reviewed electronic communications between House employees and questioned Awan during multiple voluntary interviews, the plea deal said.

But a Trump friend will get 20+ years of hard labor because he once jaywalked.
Our “justice” system ain’t what it ought to be.
This is so much crap! There's a TON of evidence that Awan,violated federal law with respect to the House computer systems."

Ex-congressional IT staffer reaches plea deal that debunks conspiracy theories about illegal information access:
Effing swamp....
Sounds like he’s made a deal with the Deep State to “flip” Trump, as the “media” bobbleheads like to say.
He was making a plea deal.
Give and take.
What will he give?................
180°............
All is not always as it seems......................
Remarkable cover up. Just the stolen equipment should be easy to prove. Now the fbi and Justice are giving out plea deals to shut up people rather than talking. The swamp is deep wide and dark.
Boy, does that sound familiar. He didn't "intend" to do nuffin'. He was just being "negligent".
Thank you, Jeff Sessions, you sack of San Francisco street debris. How about tracking down the murderer of Seth Rich? You could plead him out to discharging a firearm illegally and let him go too.
Exactly.
We’ll see what happens from here. The 4th of July is tomorrow. Each new day brings a new indictment for child porn or child sex on another federal employee.
Double You Tee Eff????
Are we sure they are an ex?
In any deal, there is a give and take.
What did he have to give?...................
This will ensure he doesn’t have to spill the beans on that he did and the dems knew.
He’s not giving anything. If he was, there wouldn’t be a story. If there’s anything that the President should be lighting Twitter up about, it is this. A F*cking Travesty of Justice!!!
Sessions, you magnificent bastard!
