Ed. Note:<\/span> Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

The Department of Justice\u2019s attempt to indict journalist Don Lemon for his reporting on anti-ICE protests in Minnesota was reportedly blocked by a federal magistrate judge. What well-known defense attorney represents Lemon in the matter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hint: In a statement, his lawyer said, \u201cThe magistrate\u2019s reported actions confirm the nature of Don\u2019s First Amendment protected work this weekend in Minnesota as a reporter. It was no different than what he has done for more than 30 years, reporting and covering newsworthy events on the ground and engaging in constitutionally protected activity as a journalist.\u201d Which, naturally, is a stark contrast to the Attorney General\u2019s reaction, because according to reports, the AG is \u201cenraged at the magistrate judge\u2019s decision.\u201d
