Catherine Herridge on the 'Shadow Government' claims | Katie Pavlich Tonight
"I wrote my 4TH check to the U.S. district court for $800 daily. Find for the content and I can tell you that the plaintiff in this case, yung pinch and is asking the court to raise the fines to $5,000 a day. This is designed to break the journalist mentally emotionally and financially."
Catherine Herridge says she is being fined $800 per day after being held in contempt for refusing to reveal confidential sources, describing the financial and family pressure the case has created. She claims the plaintiff is seeking an increase to $5,000 per day, and frames the dispute as a test of source protection and press freedom in the US.
