Don Lemon Says Detention By Feds Was Meant To “Embarrass” And “Intimidate”

Don Lemon outside of the downtown Los Angeles federal court building Friday Getty In his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, former CNN and current independent journalist Don Lemon said he offered to turn himself in to federal agents prior to his arrest last week but his offer was ignored. “I never heard back from them,” Lemon said, adding that his detention by about a dozen agents was more than “a waste of resources,” as Kimmel described it. “They want to embarrass you,” Lemon said.
