"Former CNN host Don Lemon predicted President Donald Trump's administration will not stop pursuing him, even if it means they have to go around a judge. Lemon sat down with Alisyn Camerota this week just as his fellow former CNNer launched her new gig with Scripps News as a special events anchor and contributor. Lemon is currently facing pushback (and possible legal consequences) for his coverage of a group of Minnesota anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a church service in St. Paul."
"The protest is one of many in Minnesota since the shooting and killing of 37-year-old mother Renee Good by an ICE agent. Federal agents have also since clashed with protesters following the shooting and killing of Alex Jeffrey Pretti, another 37-year-old living in Minneapolis like Good. The president has already pushed calls for Lemon to be jailed. During their conversation, Camerota noted a report that a federal judge refused to sign a complaint bringing charges against Lemon over the church protest."
"I'm not naive. I think they're probably going to try again and again as they did with Tish James and Comey and everyone. If one doesn't work, then they try something else and that fails, and they try something else and then they just don't give up because they, you know, they want to save face, but I don't know what's next."
Don Lemon said the Trump administration will continue attempting to pursue him, even if it requires circumventing a judge. He spoke with Alisyn Camerota amid her new role at Scripps News. Lemon faces scrutiny and possible legal consequences for his coverage of Minnesota anti-ICE protesters who disrupted a St. Paul church service. The protests followed the shootings of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE agent and Alex Jeffrey Pretti in Minneapolis. President Trump has called for Lemon to be jailed. A federal judge reportedly refused to sign a complaint alleging charges over the protest, but Lemon predicted repeated prosecutorial attempts and likened his situation to others targeted politically.
