CBS
seized the confidential files, personal items, and laptop of investigative
reporter Catherine Herridge, who was investigating the Hunter Biden laptop
scandal when she became one of hundreds laid off last week, the New York Post reported Thursday.
The
Post was told by a source within CBS that the move was
"unprecedented," adding that CBS informed Herridge what, if
anything, would be returned to her.
Further,
the documents seized might contain privileged conversations Herridge had with
her lawyer and identities of confidential sources, according to the report.
Herridge was in the middle of a First Amendment case, in which she refused to
identify a source to a court.
"The
timing of Herridge's termination immediately raised suspicions in
Washington," legal scholar and professor Jonathan Turley wrote in an
opinion piece for The Hill.
"She
was pursuing stories that were unwelcomed by the Biden White House and many
Democratic powerhouses, including the Hur report on Joe Biden's diminished
mental capacity, the Biden corruption scandal, and the Hunter Biden
laptop," Turley wrote. "She continued to pursue these stories
despite reports of pushback from CBS executives, including CBS
News President Ingrid Ciprian-Matthews."
A
CBS spokesperson told the Post that Herridges belongings will be returned to
her soon.
"We
have respected her request to not go through the files. And out of our concern
for confidential sources, the office she occupied has remained secure since her
departure," the spokesperson told the Post. "We are prepared to
pack up the rest of her files immediately on her behalf — with her
representative present as she requested."
Turley
called the approach to her files "heavy-handed," adding it
"left many wondering if it was the result of the past reported tension
over stories."
"Regardless
of motive, the company is dead wrong," he wrote.
SAG-AFTRA,
the union that represents CBS staffers, also responded.
"This
action is deeply concerning to the union because it sets a dangerous precedent
for all media professionals and threatens the very foundation of the First
Amendment," the union said in a statement to the Post.
Herridge
previously worked for Fox News. And Fox, according to the Post, is paying for
her legal counsel. It was at Fox News where she landed on a story in 2017, the
saga of which continues.
Herridge's
First Amendment fight involved defying "U.S. District Judge Christopher
Cooper's order to reveal how she learned about a federal probe into a
Chinese American scientist who operated a graduate program in
Virginia," according to the Post.
She
could be fined up to $5,000 a day.
And,
according to the Post's sources, CBS could be subpoenaed to reveal the identity
of Herridge's source, which CBS could possibly have under guard in her old
office.
