A Chinese-American scientist who subpoenaed former CBS reporter Catherine Herridge in a lawsuit against the FBI asked the court to expedite an appeal so Herridge can face contempt fines of $800 a day as soon as possible.
Earlier this month, Catherine Herridge, an Emmy-winning and nominated reporter known for her work on national security and intelligence, was held in civil contempt by an Obama-appointed federal judge for her refusal to unmask her confidential sources related to a blockbuster story on how there is an infiltration from China in US universities.
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.
