Judicial Watch Files Two New Lawsuits against State Department on Biden-Burisma Scandal and Alleged Whistleblower Contacts on Ukraine

Judicial Watch announced today it filed two Freedom of Information Act lawsuits against the United States Department of State relating to Burisma Holdings.

The first lawsuit seeks records of communications from the US Embassy in Kyiv related to Burisma.

The second lawsuit seeks records related to a January 19, 2016 meeting at the White House that included Ukrainian prosecutors, embassy officials and CIA employee Eric Ciaramella, who reportedly worked on Ukraine issues while on detail to both the Obama and Trump White Houses in Ukraine; Gina Lentine, formerly the Eurasia program coordinator at Soros funded Open Society Foundations; and former Assistant Secretary of State Victoria Nuland, who had extensive involvement with Clinton-funded dossier.

"We are going to report that Elizabeth Zentos attended a meeting at the White House on 1/19/2016 with Ukrainian prosecutors and embassy officials as well as [redacted] from the NSC The subjects discussed included efforts within the United State government to support prosecutions, in Ukraine and the United Kingdom, of Burisma Holdings and concerns that Hunter Biden's position with the company could complicate such efforts."

"These lawsuits could confirm that President Trump had every right to be concerned about Ukraine and Biden corruption - and that the impeachment against him was an shameful attempt to cover up these scandals," stated Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton.

Judicial Watch last month sued for Ciaramella's CIA emails and for information on his links to the FBI/DOJ Russiagate investigation.

Judicial Watch also sued for records about the firing of Ukraine's top prosecutor after then-Vice President Joe Biden threatened to withhold aid.
