Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) told the Sun Sentinel Thursday that she “did the right thing” by not firing her IT staffer Imran Awan after being told last year that he was under investigation for procurement theft and banned from access to the House IT network.
Awan was finally fired by Wasserman Schultz last week after being arrested on bank fraud charges while attempting to leave the country for Pakistan. He is also suspected of exposing House information online.
“I believe that I did the right thing, and I would do it again,” Wasserman Schultz said. “There are times when you can’t be afraid to stand alone, and you have to stand up for what’s right.
“It would have been easier for me to just fire him,” she added.
