The House Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution and Limited Government held a hearing titled 'Fighting for a Free Press: Protecting Journalists and their Sources,' featuring testimony from former CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge. Known for her work on the Hunter Biden laptop story, Herridge was recently laid off by CBS and had her journalistic files seized. During the hearing, she accused CBS News of crossing a 'red line' and described the seizure of her documents as 'journalistic rape,' an attack on investigative journalism. Herridge also highlighted her current situation, facing a daily $800 fine by a far-left judge for not revealing her confidential sources, as a context for the necessity of the PRESS Act. She emphasized the importance of press freedom and the protection of journalists and their sources in her testimony.
