Imran Awan, a technology worker in Congress for 13 years, is the subject of a federal investigation that has become a lightning rod for some conservatives. Christopher J. Gowen, one of Imran Awan’s lawyers, called the espionage claims “ludicrous.”“There’s nothing that Imran did that wasn’t requested by one of his clients on House staff,” he said. “At the end of the day, whether they had formal training or not, they were trained on the job by Imran,” said one of Imran Awan’s lawyers, Aaron Marr Page. Imran Awan’s lawyers said Awan and Alvi have repaid the loans by cashing out their retirement funds. Imran Awan is living with a relative in Virginia and wearing a GPS tracking device.
