Supreme Court declines to halt $800-a-day fine for ex-Fox News reporter refusing to divulge sources

The Supreme Court declined to halt an $800-a-day fine against former Fox News reporter Catherine Herridge for refusing to disclose confidential sources related to stories about scientist Yanping Chen. A judge ruled that Chen's need for information in her lawsuit against the government outweighed Herridge's right to protect her sources, leading to Herridge's civil contempt citation.
