Christopher Sign, a local TV news anchor best known for breaking the story of a private meeting between Bill Clinton and then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch in 2016, died Saturday at age 45. At the time of his death, he was an anchor for ABC 33/40 in Birmingham, Alabama.
According to AL.com, Sign died by an apparent suicide.
In June 2016, while a reporter at Phoenix ABC affiliate KNXV-TV, Sign broke the story of the so-called tarmac meeting between Clinton and Lynch on Lynch’s private plane at the Phoenix airport. The meeting happened while then-presidential candidate Hillary Clinton was still being investigated by the FBI for how she handled certain emails during her time as Secretary of State under Barack Obama.
