Free Speech Is Dead, Reporter Facing Charges For Refusing To Reveal Confidential Source

 An Obama appointed judge is trying to force former Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge into revealing her source from a story back in 2017 about a school funded by the Department of Defense that had ties to the Chinese military.

In August, US District Court for the District of Columbia, Christopher Cooper, ordered Herridge to sit down for a sworn deposition regarding a confidential source she used for a 2017 story she covered on a Department of Defense-funded school that was at the center of federal investigations over Chinese military ties while she was at Fox News.

The judge ordered Herridge to turn over her source(s) in response to a lawsuit that was filed by Chinese-American scientist Yanping Chen against the FBI. Chen subpoenaed Herridge in an effort to find out who her sources were.

CNN has more details: Judge Christopher Cooper, of the US District Court for the District of Columbia, issued a ruling to compel CBS News senior correspondent Catherine Herridge to participate in a deposition regarding the identity of a confidential source or sources she used for a series of 2017 stories published while she worked at Fox News.

Citing documents reviewed by Fox News, Herridge reported that Chen was the subject of a federal counterintelligence probe.

In an effort to prove her case, Chen subpoenaed Herridge and Fox News, with the hope of unmasking the source(s) for the stories.

Cooper disagreed with Fox News and Herridge in his Tuesday decision.

It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial.
