Journalist April Ryan revealed that she has received death threats after asking White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders whether Donald Trump has considered resigning as POTUS.

During a recent appearance on CNN, Ryan defended her question, telling host Wolf Blitzer the inquiry sparked a wide range of reactions.

“Some are saying it was a great question — people who do not support this president. And those who are supporting this president are outraged, are angry,” she said. “… I have been getting death threats, and we’ve been calling the FBI.”

“This is real,” she continued. “I asked a simple question, I did not point a finger, I asked a question and now my life is in jeopardy because of a question. But I’m going to continue to do my job.”

Ryan, a White House reporter for National Urban Radio Networks, asked Sanders Tuesday if Trump pondered stepping down at any point, considering the recent FBI raid of his personal attorney Micheal Cohen’s home, office and hotel. She noted that she’s heard from sources before that the president has mulled resignation.

Sanders brushed off the question with a short “no,” however, calling it “absolutely ridiculous.”

“That is not illogical, irrational. It is a real question on the table that a White House does not want to deal with,” Ryan told Blitzer.

The acclaimed journalist has hand heated exchanges with press secretaries in the past, and this wasn’t her first go-round with Sanders. In November, Ryan sparked a Twitter beef with Sanders over whether or not she actually baked a pie for Thanksgiving.

Things also became tense when Ryan asked former Press Secretary Sean Spicer his thoughts on the administration’s alleged ties to Russia. That’s when Spicer told her to “please stop shaking her head” as he gave his answer.

“Unfortunately, I was roadkill today,” Ryan said after the briefing. Ryan reportedly received death threats after that exchange as well.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
