In a statement released through CBS, Herridge also invoked the importance of facts, but in a way that could be interpreted as a criticism of Fox: "CBS News has always placed a premium on enterprise journalism and powerful investigations," she said. "I feel privileged to join a team where facts and storytelling will always matter."
CBS said she will begin her new role in November.
"She will report original investigations and cover national security and intelligence matters that impact the country," the network said.
Herridge is the latest in a series of high-profile departures from Fox in the Trump age.
Some journalists at the network have complained about a lack of space for real reporting and described feeling squeezed out by the right-wing talk shows that President Trump and his supporters prefer.
