A magistrate judge on Thursday rejected federal charges against journalist Don Lemon in connection with a protest at a Minnesota church.
Lemon, who was fired from CNN in 2023, said he was there as a journalist, not as part of the demonstrations.
“Once the protest started in the church, we did an act of journalism which was report on it and talk to the people involved, including the pastor, members of the church and members of the organization,” Lemon said in a video posted on social media, according to The Associated Press.
“That’s it. That’s called journalism,” he added.
The charges against Lemon were sick joke. Filing those was nothing malicious prosecution on of 47's DOJ. He treats the DOJ as his own personal law firm, just he did in his first term.
