Three others were also arrested on charges that they had violated federal law during the church protest this month, reviving a case that was rejected last week by a magistrate judge.

Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed that ex-CNN anchor Don Lemon’s arrest came at her direction in connection with his livestreaming of a protest in Minnesota earlier in January.

Jan. 30 (UPI) -- Federal officers arrested former CNN anchor Don Lemon in Los Angeles over his attendance at a protest at a church in Minnesota earlier this month.

Lemon, a former CNN anchor, has argued he was exercising his First Amendment rights as a journalist during the protest at a church in St. Paul, Minn.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said that Lemon and several other people had been arrested "at my direction" on unspecified federal charges in connection with what she called a "coordinated attack" on the Cities Church in St. Paul, the twin city of Minneapolis.

It is unclear what charge or charges Lemon is facing in the Jan. 18 protest. The arrest came after a magistrate judge last week rejected prosecutors’ initial bid to charge the journalist.
