Don Lemon arrested over St Paul church storming

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon has been arrested by federal agents, according to multiple reports. This comes after he appeared to coordinate with a left-wing activist group that stormed a church in St. Paul, where multiple people are now facing FACE Act violation charges. They had stormed the church because a pastor worked with ICE.

Lemon was arrested in Los Angeles and charged with counts related to the incident on Thursday evening, per the New York Times. Lemon has claimed that he was simply there to document the events taking place, however, he appeared to have knowledge of what was going to take place before the group stormed the church and he gave out coffee and donuts to the agitators that participated in the action. 

At my direction, early this morning federal agents arrested Don Lemon, Trahern Jeen Crews, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lydell Lundy, in connection with the coordinated attack on Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota.

More details soon.
