Rep. Ron DeSantis Monday called for answers from former Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz about her decision to keep tech expert Imran Awan on her payroll for months after he was accused of bank fraud in February.
"It wasn't just him that was busted in February," the Florida Republican told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program.
"He had family members, a couple of friends, all these guys, although they weren't qualified. They made over $4 million from Democratic members of the House of Representatives since 2009."
Last Tuesday, Wasserman Schultz, also a representative from Florida, fired Awan, one day after he was arrested at Dulles International Airport while trying to flee the United States. Awan, 37, faces bank fraud charges for allegedly trying to get a loan from the Congressional Federal Union by claiming a rental property as his primary residence.
Awan and four other IT staffers, all of whom were accused of theft of computers and data systems in February, were employed by more than two dozen congressional Democrats, but Wasserman Schultz was the only lawmaker to keep Anwan on the payroll.
