Former CBS Reporter Catherine Herridge Reveals How Executives Delayed Her Reporting On Hunter Biden Laptop
By Harold Hutchison (DCNF) - All News Pipeline
Former CBS investigative reporter Catherine Herridge said Thursday CBS News executives postponed airing her reports on the contents of Hunter Bidens laptop.
Herridge began working as an independent journalist after CBSlaid her offin February 2024 while she was fighting a legal battle over whether she should be forced to disclose a source, after clashes with CBS executives at the time. Herridge said in the videopostedon X that she clashed with executives over the timing of her report on the Hunter Biden laptop contents.(RELATED: Bari Weiss Plotting To Poach Fox News Star For CBS Anchor Chair: REPORT)
When we did the story, we did it after the (2022) midterms, Herridge said. I argued against that because it was ready before the midterms and my training is that you should always do the story when its ready to go. You should not be dictated by the political cycle.
Once we got the laptop story on the morning news, I felt that there was so much there that we could still do, Herridge continued. For example, in the text messages, theres unfortunately, uh, the use of the N word, the liberal use of the N word.
The Daily Caller News Foundation confirmed theauthenticityof some of the contents of the laptop in October 2020. TheWashington PostandNew York Timesconfirmed the authenticity of the data in March 2022 in articles about investigations into Biden by the Department of Justice.
Prior to discussing the delay, Herridge discussed the steps she took to obtain what she described as a lot of effort to get the cleanest copy of the data from the laptop in question.
A jury in DelawareconvictedHunter Biden on three felony gun charges in connection with the 2018 purchase of a Colt .38-caliber revolver in June 2024. Bidenentereda guilty plea on federal tax charges shortly before his trial was scheduled to start in September 2024, but his father, then-President Joe Biden,pardonedhim on Dec. 1, 2024.
Herridge facedcivil contemptcharges after she refused an order from U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper of the District of Columbia, an Obama appointee, to reveal her sources for a 2017 story she did for Fox News on a person investigated on suspicion of spying for the Peoples Republic of China. Herridge latertestifiedabout the legal battle and her firing from CBS in front of the House Judiciary Committee.
