Court rejects Herridge’s emergency bid, source-disclosure fines loom
The Supreme Court declined former Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge's emergency appeal to halt $800-a-day fines for refusing to reveal her sources in a Privacy Act-related case tied to a Virginia training firm with alleged ties to the Chinese military, leaving the fines to accrue while keeping open the possibility of further review. Justice Kavanaugh reportedly would have granted the request, and Paul Clement has joined the case on Herridge's behalf as Fox News defends protecting journalistic sourcing.
