This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 82%. (I'm a bot)

Imran Awan, a congressional aide arrested by the FBI after wiring $300,000 to Pakistan and misrepresenting the purpose, had previously wired money to the country and was frantically liquidating multiple real estate properties on the day he was arrested, The Daily Caller News Foundation Investigative Group has learned.

Imran's real estate properties provide a source of money that could be sent directly to Pakistan when two upcoming home sales close.

Imran was arrested July 24 - four months after the FBI says his wife Hina Alvi moved to Pakistan after learning the family was the subject of a criminal investigation into their work as IT administrators for House Democrats.

Home sales could be a vehicle to continue moving large amounts of money to Pakistan even after Imran's arrest.

In addition to the three houses sold or slated to be sold since June 20, Imran's lawyer, Chris Gowen, told The New York Times that the $283,000 wire in January was preceded by other similar transfers to Pakistan.

Authorities arrested Imran at Dulles airport trying to fly to Pakistan and accused him of taking out a home-equity loan on a rental house by falsely claiming that it was his primary residence and that the money would be used for home improvements.
