Awan Asks Judge To Remove GPS, Citing Possible Emergency With Kids In Pakistan
2017-09-02
[Daily Caller] A former House of Representatives IT aide was arraigned in federal court Friday on four felony fraud charges, appearing with three attorneys including Chris Gowen, a former close aide to Hillary and Bill Clinton.

Gowen asked that Imran Awan’s GPS monitoring bracelet be removed, citing that Imran might need to attend to an emergency with his children. In a press conference outside court, Gowen admitted that the children are in Pakistan and refused to explain the discrepancy.

"His ability to parent, which may well be single parenting, if there is an emergency..." Gowen said.

He also asked for other restrictions on his movement to be lifted, saying he has been driving for Uber, but the company had no record of any driver matching several variations of Imran’s name.
Golly, how is an off-the-books Uber driver able to afford three lawyers, at least one of whom appears to be seriously not inexpensive?
Prosecutor Michael Marando opposed the motions, saying Imran is a severe flight risk. "From Day 1 there was a pattern of flight. It began September 2016... a pattern of transfers to Pakistan, hundreds of thousands of dollars," he said. The judge has not ruled on the motion.
