Don Lemon quotes the Bible in response to arrest for Minnesota church storming

Former CNN host Don Lemon cast himself as a persecuted journalist in a Substack post Saturday, quoting the Bible while responding to his arrest last month on federal charges stemming from an anti-ICE protest at a Minnesota church.

Lemon, who was released without bail Friday, says he was acting as a journalist, while prosecutors allege he coordinated with activists who disrupted services at Cities Church.

"There is a passage in scripture that says, ‘The truth shall set you free,’" Lemon wrote, quoting John 8:32.
