“I had grave concerns about his due process rights being violated,” she said. “When their investigation was reviewed with me, I was presented with no evidence of anything that they were being investigated for. And so that, in me, gave me great concern that his due process rights were being violated. That there were racial and ethnic profiling concerns that I had.”
U.S. Rep. Ron DeSantis (R-FL), who may run for governor, called on the Justice Department this to delve deeper into Awan’s finances. In news release he sent out along with a copy of his letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions, DeSantis said:
“The allegations levied against Imran Awan are alarming and could have serious national security ramifications…
The Department of Justice must work to immediately mitigate the damage done by Awan and take whatever measures are necessary, including freezing illicit funds, in order to fully investigate this incident.”
In addition to Awan’s suspected defrauding, DeSantis inquires as to the charge that he was purchasing equipment using taxpayer dollars and subsequently stealing them and made particular references detailing his concern for the wire transfer to Pakistan – which is home to many numerous terrorist organizations.
