Former Attorney General Bill Barr called the newest federal grand jury subpoenas probing the Jan. 6, 202, Capitol riot "a significant event," one that suggests that government prosecutors are probing high-ranking Trump administration officials and allies, and even former President Donald Trump. "This suggests to me that they're taking a hard look at the group at the top, including the president and the people immediately around him who were involved in this," Barr told CBS News' Catherine Herridge in an interview Friday.

The founder of a liberal-leaning media outlet is defending a CBS reporter who was attacked for breaking the news of a request from 16 individuals to unmask the identity of then-national security adviser Michael Flynn. Speaking with Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Friday, the Intercept co-founder Glenn Greenwald praised reporter Catherine Herridge for her "extremely reliable" reporting on the Russian collusion narrative in spite of attacks from 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden's campaign staff. "I think Catherine Herridge is a reporter of the highest integrity and professionalism," Greenwald told MacCallum. "I find it extremely ironic because every time President...

@CBSNews obtains 94-page declassified FBI spreadsheet, widely cited by IG Horowitz, but not public until now. Recently released to Senate investigators, the FBI spreadsheet was part of a broader effort to corroborate the Steele dossier claims. While lightly redacted, the bureau spreadsheet shows the FBI relied heavily on media reporting to back up claims about Carter Page, Paul Manafort, and others. IG Horowitz faulted the FBI over lack of corroboration + evidence of circular reporting. reporting in the @carterwpage FISA + then not correcting the court record once the connection with Steele was known.

Former FBI Director James Comey testified by video earlier this week before the Senate Judiciary Committee, where part of his testimony appeared to contradict what Andrew McCabe has previously told Congress. Perhaps the ex-deputy FBI director could help clear up any confusion caused by his former boss’s testimony, but he certainly doesn’t seem in any hurry to do so: Catherine Herridge @CBS_Herridge NEW #Russia #Durham: McCabe declines to testify next week @senjudiciary citing "manifest danger” of Covid-19 among Committee members + “McCabe is eager to testify voluntarily...at a future date when it is safe” McCabe conditions : in-person, not Zoom...

Thursday on ABC’s “The View,” political analyst Tiffany Cross said President Donald Trump’s comments to CBS News pointing to white people being killed by law enforcement was “tossing red meat to his Klan-like base.” Tuesday interviewer Catherine Herridge asked the president, “Why are African-Americans still dying at the hands of law enforcement in this country?” Trump said, “And so are white people, so are white people. What a terrible question to ask. So are white people. More white people, by the way. More white people.”

President Donald Trump on Tuesday refused to answer a question about police violence against Black people, instead pointing out that white people are also sometimes victims of police violence."And so are white people, so are white people," Trump said in an interview with CBS’s Catherine Herridge when asked why Black Americans are still dying at the hands of law enforcement. "What a terrible question to ask. So are white people, more white people by the way, more white people," Trump continued. White people make up roughly half of the people shot and killed annually by police, according to a Washington...

Last week, CBS News senior investigative correspondent Catherine Herridge broke a huge national story: Acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell had declassified an “unmasking list” of people around President Obama who had requested intelligence on a member of the incoming Trump administration. Among the people on the list were UN Ambassador Samantha Power, White House Chief of Staff Dennis McDonough and then Vice President Joe Biden. There were sixteen in total. “Unmasking” allowed those 16 to read an unredacted transcript of a phone call or phone calls between incoming Trump DNI Michael Flynn and then-Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak.

NBC News’ “Meet The Press” admitted late on Sunday that their segment earlier in the day on remarks made by Attorney General William Barr last week was false after host Chuck Todd was called out publicly by a spokesperson for the Department of Justice. The remarks that “Meet The Press” deceptively edited came from the following exchange from an interview that Barr had with CBS News reporter Catherine Herridge: HERRIDGE: In closing, this was a big decision in the Flynn case, to say the least. When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written?...

As facts about the Obama administration's spying and leaking are spilling out, media have a brief window of opportunity to salvage some credibility. As new details emerge about the Obama administration’s broad spying-and-leaking campaign against the incoming Trump administration, reporters have a choice to make about whether to cover this story honestly, at long last. There is a brief window of time afforded the media to get the story right. They should take advantage of it.Journalist Lee Smith already noted the seriousness of the problem facing legacy media after the implosion of the Russia collusion conspiracy theory they peddled. “Americans...

The Daily Beast has written a piece attacking Catherine Herridge, saying that Democrats “and some of her own colleagues” believe she’s pushing conservative conspiracy theories: Democrats on Capitol Hill have grown particularly irked by Catherine Herridge's work, believing she’s become a de facto clearing house for conservative conspiracy theorists who want to give their material the veneer of mainstream objectivity https://t.co/uCqHCBAdA1— The Daily Beast (@thedailybeast) May 15, 2020 I can’t get to the entire article because it’s blocked by a members only paywall.

NBC's Chuck Todd played a deceptively edited clip of Attorney General William Barr's response to a question regarding the attorney general's decision to dismiss charges against former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Not only were Barr's comments taken out of context, Chuck Todd accused Barr of not citing "the rule of law" when the attorney general specifically stated the "rule of law" in his answer. "In closing, this was a big decision in the Flynn case, to say the least. When history looks back on this decision, how do you think it will be written? What will it say...

Roger Stone was dragged into court ONLY because he is a prominent Republican activist who supported Donald Trump! His Process Crimes!Count 1: Obstructing a congressional investigationCount 2: Lying to Congress We just witnesses several Democrats and far left operatives — including Adam Schiff — lying to Congress about a Trump phone call with Ukraine.They will not be sent to prison. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/breaking-federal-prosecutors-recommend-67-yr-old-roger-stone-serve-7-9-years-in-prison-for-process-crimes-in-mueller-witch-hunt/ 

A longtime associate of Roger Stone is urging a federal judge not to send him to prison following the right-wing political operative's conviction on seven counts of lying to Congress and witness tampering. Randy Credico, an activist and radio host who's known Stone for years, was on the receiving end of the witness tampering. Evidence introduced by prosecutors during trial showed Stone repeatedly — and often with vulgar language — threatened Credico to not cooperate with a congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. But in a letter to D.C. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama...

Speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago Tuesday, President Trump was asked if he plans to pardon General Michael Flynn and Roger Stone.   “I haven’t thought about it," President Trump said.

President Trump spoke to reporters today at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida. One of the first questions he received was whether or not he will pardon Roger Stone. President Trump said it was very unfair what the deep state DOJ did to Roger Stone and General Mike Flynn in what was all a big hoax. Trump then focused on the criminal acts by the Obama Department of Justice. President Trump: I think it’s very tough what they did to Roger Stone compared to what they do to other people on their side. I think it’s very tough. I think it’s...
