Ciaramella was close friends at the White House with Misko who in August 2019 was a key aide to Adam Schiff, the [[House Intelligence Committee]] chairman leading the Democratic push to impeach President Trump. Sean Misko, 37, was the director for the Gulf States at the National Security Council from 2015 until the first half of 2018.

Schiff first claimed, “We have not spoken directly with the whistleblower. We would like to.” However, it was later discovered that “a member of his staff had spoken to the whistleblower before the complaint was filed on Aug. 12.” The whistleblower and @AdamSchiff's aide were described as workplace friends who had similarly antagonistic attitudes toward the Trump administration and were witnessed by a former National Security Council official, to frequently be around one another.
