Forgive me if this has already been blogged. I must have missed it yesterday if it had.
April Ryan, a reporter and veteran White House correspondent for the American Urban Radio Networks, claims Manigault “physically intimidated” her and spewed threats that the Trump administration had damning “dossiers” on her and several other African-American journalists. She said the exchange, which occurred just outside Press Secretary Sean Spicer’s West Wing office Wednesday, Feb. 8, was nearly enough to warrant Secret Service intervention.
Omarosa has responded with the traditional Trump claim of “Fake news” but there were witnesses.
A handful of White House press office staffers and Washington Post reporter Abby Phillip were among witnesses to the Manigault v. Ryan showdown, according to The Washington Post. Phillip told the newspaper she did not hear every word of the heated exchange but said Ryan reiterated that the former reality-TV star’s demeanor was so threatening that law enforcement could have gotten involved.
In a normal presidency, this would have been a YUGE story.
