Julie Pace: ‘Don’t Mess with April Ryan Is My First Piece of Advice’ for Press Secretaries

EXCERPT:

PACE: "Don’t mess with April Ryan is my first piece of advice for press secretaries. A lot of press secretaries have learned that lesson over time. Look, April was asking a really legitimate question. There’s an FBI investigation into whether the Trump campaign was coordinating with the Russians during the election. That’s just a fact. James Comey said that publicly on Capitol Hill. So to dismiss out of hand reporters who are asking about that investigation or asking how the White House tries to move past that is a legitimate question. It’s a little bit odd that Sean would try to undermine just that very premise. In terms of Sean’s credibility, I think a lot of reporters who cover the White House would tell you that Sean is helpful behind the scenes. A lot of us have good relationships with him behind the scenes."
