Ousted CBS reporter reveals how network squashed Hunter Biden story | 4 Nov 2024 | An ousted veteran CBS reporter has written a lengthy expose claiming to reveal details about how the network squashed a Hunter Biden story. Writing on her website, Catherine Herridge described the broadcaster's investigation into the laptop as a "missed opportunity for CBS News," suggesting the broadcaster failed to properly report her findings. Herridge said she told company executives the laptop contained material about "a million dollar retainer from a Chinese energy firm" along with Hunter's business texts and emails in early October 2020. But later that month, during a 60 Minutes interview with then-President Trump, correspondent Lesley Stahl said the laptop "couldn't be verified," according to Herridge. "As I watched the broadcast, I felt sick," she wrote.
