Bodyguard for CNN's April Ryan charged with assault

CNN political analyst April Ryan - who has repeatedly blasted President Trump for attacking and vilifying the press - got her bodyguard to forcibly remove a journalist from an event she was speaking at in New Jersey, leading cops to charge him Monday with assault.

Kratovil had been invited to The Heldrich Hotel, where the event was held, by a public relations firm and asked to cover it.

Moments later, her bodyguard - Joel Morris, 30, of Illinois - comes into view and is told something by Ryan.

A tussle allegedly ensues and Morris winds up walking Kratovil out of the venue - with his arm twisted around his back, the journalist says.

A woman can be heard screaming at Kratovil at one point, saying: "How dare you come in here and interrupt this event like this!".

Kratovil posted a video on his Twitter page Monday, explaining how cops found "Probable cause" to charge Morris with harassment, assault and theft.

"Her silence is deafening at this point," Kratovil said, speaking to NJ.com.
