Supreme Court keeps Herridge’s source-privacy fight alive with $800-a-day sanctions

The Supreme Court declined to grant an emergency stay, leaving in place a lower-court order that former Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge must disclose a confidential source or face $800 per day in sanctions for refusing to identify the source in a federal privacy dispute involving Yanping Chen. Justice Brett Kavanaugh said he would have granted the stay, but the unsigned order let the sanctions stand while the case proceeds. Press-freedom advocates warn the ruling jeopardizes journalistic confidentiality and the free flow of information, while Herridge and Fox News indicated they may pursue further legal options.
