Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested by federal agents in connection to his presence at a Minnesota church protest, his lawyer Abbe Lowell confirmed. Lemon’s lawyer said the former CNN host was taken into custody on Thursday night in Los Angeles. “Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards,” Abbe Lowell announced. “Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done.”“This unprecedented attack on the First Amendment and transparent attempt to distract attention from the many crises facing this administration will not stand. Don will fight these charges vigorously and thoroughly in court,” Lowell said.
