Logs Also Show DNC Contractor Who Allegedly Worked with Ukraine to Investigate Trump/Manafort Visited Obama White House 27 times
An analysis of Obama-era White House visitor logs that detail meeting of controversial CIA employee Eric Ciaramella, who had been assigned to the White House to conduct domestic espionage on President Donald Trump, suggests that his ‘whistleblower’ complaint may have been conceived in collaboration with former Obama Administration officials, in an apparent coup d’etat.
Ciaramella was detailed to the Obama White House in 2015 and returned to the CIA during the Trump administration in 2017. The logs reveal that Alexandra Chalupa, a contractor hired by the DNC during the 2016 election who coordinated with Ukrainians to investigate President Trump and his former campaign manager Paul Manafort, visited the White House 27 times.
