The Department of Justice under Attorney General Pam Bondi has dropped the hammer on disgraced former CNN host Don Lemon, charging him with federal civil rights crimes after he live streamed anti-ICE protesters violently storming a church in Minnesota.
The charges represent a stunning fall from grace for the left-wing media personality who spent years attacking President Trump and defending the very same radical groups that are now landing him in federal court. While Lemon thought he was just another activist journalist "covering" the story, the DOJ determined his actions crossed the line into criminal conspiracy.
Church Under Siege, Lemon Cheering
According to federal prosecutors, Lemon didn't just passively document the church invasion – he actively promoted and encouraged the anti-ICE mob as they terrorized worshippers and disrupted religious services. The live stream, which has since been preserved as evidence, allegedly shows Lemon providing real-time tactical support to the protesters.
"This isn't journalism, it's criminal conspiracy," said one DOJ source familiar with the case. "When you cross the line from reporting to participating in civil rights violations, you become a defendant, not a journalist."
"No American should have their constitutional right to worship freely violated by radical mobs – and no media figure should escape justice for helping orchestrate such attacks."
The charges come as President Trump's second-term agenda of law and order continues to deliver results that the Biden regime refused to pursue. While the previous administration turned a blind eye to left-wing violence against churches and religious Americans, the Trump-Vance DOJ is making it clear that civil rights protections apply to ALL Americans – including Christians.
Media Accountability Finally Arrives
Patriots across the country are celebrating this long-overdue accountability for a media figure who spent years promoting division and hatred. After years of watching legacy media personalities incite violence against conservatives with zero consequences, seeing actual charges filed represents a seismic shift.
Will this finally teach the mainstream media that their press credentials don't make them above the law? And how many other activist "journalists" are sweating bullets knowing their own criminal conduct might be next?
