Gee, where has the name of that country been mentioned lately?
Mr. Gowen, the lawyer, said the allegation was baseless. “He didn’t even have a security clearance,” Mr. Gowen said. “It is a completely utterly ridiculous statement.”

What the heck is an Awan?

I was stationed in DC for almost 4 years. We had a subcontractor from Nigeria on a student visa to order food for our dining facility. She had no access to anything classified and could only place orders with pre-approved vendors.
It still took 7 months to get her a basic clearance to access the unclassified network.
Someone went to great lengths to get the Awans access to the congressional networks.
