Catherine Herridge’s commitment to uncovering government corruption has intensified following her layoff from CBS News in February 2024. Since then, she has taken bold steps to expose misconduct, including testifying before Congress about CBS’s seizure of her reporting files, which contained confidential source information.
A fierce advocate for protecting confidential sources, Herridge faced legal battles, including being held in civil contempt for refusing to disclose her sources in a national security case. Her testimony before the House Judiciary Committee underscored the urgency of the PRESS Act, which seeks to shield journalists and their sources from legal repercussions.
In a recent explosive interview, Herridge featured IRS whistleblowers Gary Shapley and Joseph Ziegler, who alleged they were instructed not to investigate Hunter Biden, referred to as “The Big Guy,” during the tax probe. They claimed that multiple agencies, including the IRS, FBI, and DOJ, were aware that Hunter Biden’s laptop was genuine but were directed to avoid scrutiny due to the upcoming 2020 election. The whistleblowers also noted that their investigation faced excessive bureaucratic hurdles, highlighting a pattern of “slow-walking investigative steps” and apparent favoritism towards Biden influenced by political motivations.
Moreover, Herridge has a history of reporting on government corruption. Her investigation into U.S. service members exposed to toxic agents following Iran’s missile attack on the Al Asad airbase in January 2020 raised alarms. This attack was Iran’s retaliation for the U.S. killing of its general, Qassem Soleimani. Her findings revealed that service members now face health issues linked to the fallout from this attack. By presenting leaked military memos and soil sample tests, Herridge’s work calls attention to the long-term health risks these individuals endure and demands accountability from the U.S. government. Her relentless pursuit of truth underscores the critical role of investigative journalism in safeguarding democracy.
