Lemon LIVE at 5 | Judge Refuses DOJ Case Against Don Lemon!

Tonight we’re breaking down major news, and a clear win for the First Amendment. A judge has rejected the Justice Department’s initial attempt to bring charges against Don Lemon, even as two activists involved in the Minneapolis church protests were arrested earlier today. This was just another case of Trump trying to intimidate the press and punish journalists for doing their jobs. This ruling sends a message: reporting is not a crime. Join Don live as he unpacks what the judge’s decision means, why this matters for press freedom, and where this failed attempt leaves the Trump administration now.
