Federal judge orders DOJ to produce grand jury records in Don Lemon indictment case
Minnesota federal Judge Laura Provinzino ordered the Justice Department to provide grand jury materials related to the indictment of former CNN anchor Don Lemon by a Tuesday deadline. Lemon was indicted on charges of conspiring to violate constitutional rights and violating the FACE Act after appearing at a protest that disrupted a church service in St. Paul, Minnesota. Lemon has pleaded not guilty and argues he was reporting on the protest, not participating in it.
