CBS News has fired a high-profile reporter who covered investigations into the Biden family, and the network is accused of seizing her personal notes in a move her union calls ‘completely inappropriate’ and ‘very unusual.’
Catherine Herridge, a veteran reporter covering national security and intelligence, was among the hundreds of CBS employees who were laid off by parent company Paramount last week.
▪ CBS reporter Catherine Herridge, known for investigating the Hunter Biden laptop scandal, was fired last week along with 20 other CBS News staffers.
▪ CBS seized Herridge’s personal files and work laptop, leading to concerns among coworkers.
▪ Sources describe CBS’s retention of Herridge’s files as unprecedented and potentially aimed at uncovering damaging documents.
▪ CBS denies plans to keep sensitive information, stating they have respected Herridge’s request and kept her former office secure.
▪ The situation adds complexity to Herridge’s circumstances, particularly given her involvement in a First Amendment case.
