BREAKING: AAG Dhillon reveals Appeals Court says DOJ established probable cause to charge Don Lemon

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon has just revealed that the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the DOJ established probable cause to charge Don Lemon, among several others, but refused to order a lower court to sign arrest warrants.

Dhillon says “Stay tuned ”:

 
Here’s the article from CBS News:

A federal appellate court ruled on Friday that the Justice Department has established probable cause to charge five people, including former CNN anchor Don Lemon, in connection with an anti-ICE protest inside a church in St. Paul, Minnesota, but it refused to order a lower court judge to sign the arrest warrants being sought by prosecutors, according to court filings and multiple sources familiar with the matter.

The ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit, which was unsealed Saturday, came about after the Justice Department asked the appellate court to compel the U.S. District Court in Minnesota to sign five arrest warrants over civil rights charges alleging the defendants were unlawfully interfering with the churchgoers’ constitutionally-protected freedom to practice religion.

The ruling made public on Saturday did not identify the names of the five defendants for whom the Justice Department is seeking arrest warrants, but multiple sources confirmed to CBS that Lemon is one of them.

A spokesperson for Lemon had no immediate comment on the ruling.


In its opinion, a three-judge panel from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit said that while they believe the department has established probable cause to justify the arrests, they did not believe the Justice Department’s claim that it “has no other adequate means of obtaining the requested relief.”

It is not immediately clear what the Justice Department will do next. It could draft new affidavits in support of the charges and re-present them to a magistrate judge, or it could also potentially seek grand jury indictments instead.
