Former CNN host Don Lemon said during an interview on Saturday with Scripps News that the Trump administration would go around a judge or “retrofit” a law to prosecute him after he followed agitators<\/a> into a St. Paul, Minnesota church earlier this month.<\/p>\n

“I think it’s not over, because it doesn’t matter if there\u2019s no law to fit, they will try to fit or retrofit something or go around a judge and just do it themselves. And it doesn\u2019t matter and everything that they say pertains to protesters. I was not a protester. It\u2019s very clear about that. If you look at all the evidence, I\u2019m not a protester. And so I think Alisyn \u2014 not that I think, I know \u2014 I was the biggest name. And so if they get a Don Lemon, woohoo, that\u2019s a victory, and also I\u2019m the one who put the information out,” he told former CNN host Alisyn Camerota, who now works for Scripps News<\/a>, in an interview.<\/p>\n

Lemon followed and spoke to demonstrators who disrupted a church service in a video he posted to his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

DON LEMON PUT \u2018ON NOTICE\u2019 BY DOJ FOR ROLE IN COVERING PROTEST THAT STORMED CHURCH<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A federal magistrate judge<\/a> rejected the Justice Department\u2019s attempt to bring charges against Lemon on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not naive. I think they\u2019re probably going to try again and again as they did with Tish James and Comey and everyone. If one doesn\u2019t work, then they try something else and that fails, and they try something else, and then they just don\u2019t give up, because they, you know, they want to save face, but I don\u2019t know what\u2019s next,” Lemon told his former colleague in the Scripps News interview.<\/p>\n

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT THE DOJ THREATS AGAINST DON LEMON AFTER HE FOLLOWED ANTI-ICE PROTESTERS IN ST. PAUL CHURCH<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Lemon said that he needed to be in it for the long haul, as well as “keep calm and carry on.”<\/p>\n

Lemon said after the DOJ called him out<\/a> that he was just covering the protest and that it was an act of journalism.<\/p>\n

The agitators went to disrupt the service at St. Paul<\/u><\/a>‘s Cities Church because they believed a pastor at the church had collaborated with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).<\/p>\n

“It\u2019s notable that I\u2019ve been cast as the face of a protest I was covering as a journalist \u2014 especially since I wasn\u2019t the only reporter there. That framing is telling,” Lemon told Fox News Digital in a statement earlier this month. “What\u2019s even more telling is the barrage of violent threats, along with homophobic and racist slurs, directed at me online by MAGA supporters and amplified by parts of the right-wing press.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If this much time and energy is going to be spent manufacturing outrage, it would be far better used investigating the tragic death of Renee Nicole Good <\/a>\u2014 the very issue that brought people into the streets in the first place,” Lemon continued. “I stand by my reporting.”<\/p>\n
