Federal agents arrested former CNN anchor Don Lemon on charges related to violating federal law, an absolutely stunning development that came only after a federal judge had already refused to sign off on the initial arrest warrant.
Lemon, who was in Los Angeles covering the Grammy awards when he was taken into custody, wasn’t the only journalist targeted. Independent reporter Georgia Fort was also arrested. Fort posted a video to her social channel claiming federal agents were at her door, noting she was being arrested simply for filming the protest a few weeks prior.
