Imran Awan, the former IT aide to congressional Democrats whose federal court case has drawn the interest of President Trump, is poised to strike a plea deal with prosecutors, court filings indicate. But in court documents last month, prosecutors hinted that a deal could be in the works. AWAN'S CASE HIT WITH REPEATED DELAYS, AS FEDS PROBE NEW ALLEGATIONSSince November, a judge has postponed Awan’s court hearing in U.S. District Court six times at the request of the prosecution and defense. Reports suggest Awan, who worked for former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz and others, could have been involved in a cyber breach operation, something his legal team vigorously denies. Most lawmakers fired Awan in February 2017, but Wasserman Schultz had kept him on until his arrest in July.
