She has some incredible details…
- In early October 2020, Herridge presented evidence to CBS News executive Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews and anchor Norah O’Donnell about a million-dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm linked to Hunter Biden.
- The evidence included texts and emails from Hunter Biden, suggesting potential conflicts of interest.
- Despite the significance of the information, CBS News did not air Herridge’s reporting before the 2020 election.
- Herridge was shocked when “60 Minutes” anchor Lesley Stahl stated that the laptop “couldn’t be verified” during an interview with then-President Donald Trump.
- This statement contradicted Herridge’s findings, which she believed could be vetted and confirmed.
- Herridge felt there was a disconnect within CBS News, as the investigative unit was not tasked with further developing the laptop story, which would have been standard practice.
- It took CBS News an additional two years to broadcast a forensic review of the Hunter Biden laptop data.
- Herridge advocated for this report, which determined that the data belonged to Hunter Biden and had not been tampered with.
- The report was finally broadcast in November 2022, after the midterm elections.
- Herridge was controversially fired by CBS News in February 2024 for refusing to disclose one of her sources.
- Upon her termination, CBS News seized Herridge’s reporting materials, a decision reportedly made by Ciprian-Matthews.
- The materials were returned days later amid pressure from the union representing Herridge.
- Ciprian-Matthews, who allegedly blocked Herridge’s reporting on the Hunter Biden laptop, stepped down in August 2024.
- She moved to the role of senior adviser for coverage of the 2024 presidential … and is set to exit the company …
- Herridge has since launched a newsletter, “Catherine Herridge Reports,” to continue her investigative journalism independently.
