At Fox, she covered Hillary Clinton almost exclusively, including Clinton's campaign for Senate in 2000, the 2004 Democratic presidential elections, the Washington, D.C.-area sniper attacks, the U.S.-sponsored resolution calling for the lifting of sanctions against Iraq, and the trial of Zacarias Moussaoui, the only person charged in the U.S. over the 9/11 attacks.[ citation needed ]

[5]
Some CBS staffers and Democrats accused Herridge of promoting Republican talking points and conservative conspiracy theories. Daily Beast media reporter Maxwell Tani observed that Herridge at times got scoops with prominent Trump administration officials and asked "softball" questions, adding she was "considered a star in conservative media circles" but was "careful to never cross the line into overt advocacy." CNN anchor Jake Tapper and national security attorney Mark Zaid have defended her work. [6]
Herridge was among twenty CBS News employees laid off on February 13, 2024, among hundreds terminated by CBS parent Paramount Global. [7]
In 2024 Herridge was held in civil contempt of court for refusing to testify regarding the sources for a story. In 2017 Herridge reported on a government investigation of University of Management and Technology and its founder. Charges were never filed. The founder sued several government agencies alleging they had leaked information to Herridge to damage the founder's reputation. Pursuant to that suit Herridge was ordered to testify about her sources, then held in contempt for refusing to do so. [8] [9] [10] According to Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, courts had ruled Herridge would be unable to appeal the order to testify until she had first been held in contempt for refusing. [10]
In 2011, Herridge authored The Next Wave: On the Hunt for Al Qaeda's American Recruits. [11]
On June 6, 2006, she donated a portion of her liver to her infant son, who was diagnosed with biliary atresia. [12] [13] [14]
