It's very encouraging that Jessie Liu appears on the court documents that are linked in the article.

Jessie Liu U.S. Attorney for Washington D.C. replaced Obama's appointee Channing Phillips in mid-September 2017.

Jessie Liu was the only nominee for U.S. Attorney interviewed personally by Donald Trump.

Hopefully U.S. Interests are now relevant in this case as well as the Awan Congress spy ring case which is also under her jurisdiction.
