A federal judge has clarified that journalist Catherine Herridge does not have to pay an $800-per-day contempt fine while she appeals a ruling that ordered her to reveal confidential sources for her 2017 Fox News stories about Chinese-American scientist Yanping Chen. Herridge was found in civil contempt for refusing to identify her sources. The judge, Christopher Cooper, had imposed the fine, but the D.C. Circuit upheld the contempt finding. The Supreme Court denied Herridge's emergency request to stop the sanction, but the district court has now paused the fines until the Supreme Court decides whether to hear the case.
