This article may help you understand why it is not being covered by mainstream media. Ironically, it is in the WaPo.

And, because it has only been reported in the Washington Times and Fox, you think the story is not accurate? Seriously?
I think I would start to wonder why the other media HASN’T reported it.
And, BTW, it is also in the Florida media:

It seems like it's difficult to get good info about this story.
For a while, the country seemed super concerned about cybersecurity, but I guess maybe we're not too concerned about that anymore?

Imran Awan, a former IT aide for Democratic Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was indicted Thursday on four counts including bank fraud and making false statements.
The indictment also includes his wife Hina Alvi.
The grand jury decision in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia comes roughly a month after Awan was arrested at Dulles airport in Virginia trying to board a plane to Pakistan, where his family is from.
Awan and other IT aides for House Democrats have been on investigators’ radar for months over concerns of possible double-billing, alleged equipment theft, and access to sensitive computer systems. Most lawmakers fired Awan in February, but Schultz had kept him on until his arrest in July.
The indictment itself, which merely represents formal charges and is not a finding of guilt, addresses separate allegations that Awan and his wife engaged in a conspiracy to obtain home equity lines of credit from the Congressional Federal Credit Union by giving false information about two properties – and then sending the proceeds to individuals in Pakistan.
The case has put renewed scrutiny on Wasserman Schultz for keeping Awan on the payroll for months, even after a criminal investigation was revealed and he was barred from the House IT network.
Awan and other family members for years had a lucrative arrangement for IT-related work on Capitol Hill for House Democrats. According to The Daily Caller, the members of the Pakistani family made at least $4 million since 2009.

Sounds like her friends think it is time for her to go.
One question about her "integrity" in standing by Awan--where was her integrity when she was running the DNC and sabotaging the Presidential primary to ensure HRC win?
Her IT guy could have been the DNC hacker for all we know.
No! The left on this board wants details down to cross the T's and dotting the I's before this theory. Meanwhile, we are relying on "anonymous" sources for a Special Prosecutor that will cost the taxpayers hundreds of millions.
