| Exposing the 'Whistleblower': Judicial Watch Sues CIA, DOJ for Eric Ciaramella Docs |
| 2019-12-28 |
| [PJ] Judicial Watch has filed two lawsuits after the CIA and the Department of Justice (DOJ) did not respond to Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests for the communications of Eric Ciaramella, a CIA employee who reportedly worked on Ukraine issues with both the Obama and Trump White Houses. Many outlets have named him as the "whistleblower" who coordinated with staffers for Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) before filing a report on Trump's Ukraine call, sparking the investigation that led to the president's impeachment. On Thursday, President Donald Trump tweeted an article claiming ‐ once again ‐ that Ciaramella was the impeachment "whistleblower." Previous reports have shown Ciaramella worked with former Vice President Joe Biden (and attended a State Department banquet at his invitation), the 2020 Democratic presidential candidate whose son is mentioned in the Ukraine call. Ciaramella was also cited in the Mueller report. When DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz revealed horrific FBI abuses in the FISA warrants obtained to spy on members of the Trump campaign in 2016, his report drew attention to the Obama administration's targeting of political opponents in that election ‐ potentially involving Ciaramella.
