Christopher Sign, the former Phoenix TV reporter who broke the infamous 2016 secret tarmac meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch has reportedly died in the apparent suicide.
The meeting came while the then-AG’s office was investigating Hillary Clinton use of a private email server.
Sign wrote a book about his experience getting that scoop called ‘Secret on the Tarmac’.
He was currently the evening anchor for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham.
“At 8:13 a.m. Saturday, the Hoover 911 center received a call of a person down at a residence on Scout Trace. Hoover police and fire personnel arrived to find the 45-year-old Sign dead.
Hoover police Lt. Keith Czeskleba said the death is being investigated as a suicide.”
The New York Post reported that Sign’s scoop upset a lot of people on the left and subjected him and his family to death threats.
“We knew something had occurred that was a bit unusual,” Sign told “Fox & Friends” in February 2020, ahead of the book’s release. “It was a planned meeting. It was not a coincidence.”
Sign went on to tell Fox that the investigation made his life a living hell, with his family receiving death threats.
“My family received significant death threats shortly after breaking this story,” he said. “Credit cards hacked. You know, my children, we have code words. We have secret code words that they know what to do.”
