The Don Lemon Show

Today we’re bringing you an extended live stream. Don is in court, and we’ll have coverage throughout the day with real-time updates, analysis, and reactions from friends of the show.
This case goes far beyond one journalist, it’s about the freedom of the press, the right to report on protests, and whether the government can intimidate members of the media for doing their jobs. 🍋

This morning, we’re covering a major development: Don is appearing in court after the U.S. Department of Justice brought charges tied to his coverage of a protest at a Minneapolis church.
This isn’t just about one case. It’s about the freedom of speech and the freedom of the press and whether journalists can report on protests without facing retaliation from the government.
We’ll break down what’s at stake and why this moment matters far beyond one courtroom. 🍋

Another day, another unhinged and dangerous instance of Donald Trump spouting lies from a podium. This time he pretended to not know much about two big recent news items: Howard Lutnick caught lying about his relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, and the racist, viral video that a Trump "staffer" posted last week depicting the Obamas as apes. Isn't this the president who never sleeps and spends most of his free time watching news coverage and tweeting? Join Don at 5pm EST to break it all down! 🍋

This morning, we’re diving into the aftermath of Pam Bondi’s House hearing, and let’s just say... it was not her finest hour. Questions were asked, but very few were actually answered. Instead, we got deflection, finger-pointing, and a masterclass in blaming literally everyone else.
We’ll break down the most embarrassing moments, what it says about the handling of the Epstein files, and why accountability still feels like a foreign concept.
Joining Don to unpack the mess are Tim Miller of The Bulwark and Jennifer Welch of the I’ve Had It podcast. 🍋

Today Attorney General Pam Bondi testified in front of the House Judiciary Committee and it did not go well for her. Bondi lashed out at every democrat who questioned her and refused to answer straight forward questions pertaining to the Epstein files. But was her performance good enough for her presidential audience of one? Is the MAGA base buying any of this? And what did she have to say about Don Lemon? Join Don and a great panel of guests to break down all that was said during this 5 hour congressional hearing. 🍋
