Trump, Epstein, Lemon, and a Civil Rights Probe: Today's Wild Headlines

Don Lemon Arrested After Protest; DOJ Investigates Border Patrol Shooting; Nevada Seeks Early Primary Spot

Former CNN anchor Don Lemon was arrested overnight in Los Angeles following an anti-immigration protest in Minneapolis, according to CBS News. The arrest, confirmed by Lemon's lawyer Abbe Lowell, occurred nearly two weeks after Lemon participated in a disruption at a church service in Minnesota. Lowell stated, "Don has been a journalist for 30 years, and his constitutionally protected work in Minneapolis was no different than what he has always done." Sources familiar with the matter indicated that a grand jury was empaneled on Thursday, and the FBI and Homeland Security Investigations were involved in the arrest.

Meanwhile, the Department of Justice (DOJ) is participating in a civil rights investigation into the death of Alex Pretti, who was fatally shot by two Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis during a federal immigration crackdown. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche characterized the investigation as a "standard investigation by the FBI when there are circumstances like what we saw last Saturday," according to CBS News. Blanche stopped short of formally labeling it a civil rights investigation but noted that the civil rights division lawyers would be involved as needed. He did not commit to releasing body camera footage.

In other news, Latino Victory, an influential Latino political group, is advocating for Nevada to be the first state to vote in the 2028 Democratic presidential primary, challenging New Hampshire's traditional role. According to CBS News, Katharine Pichardo, the president and CEO of Latino Victory, argued in a letter to DNC members that "maintaining the status quo or prioritizing less diverse states like New Hampshire would be a disadvantage to our party's presidential nominee."

Separately, the DOJ released additional documents from the Jeffrey Epstein files on Friday, accessible in "Data Set 9" on the DOJ repository. CBS News reported that the latest batch includes photos, videos, court records, FBI and DOJ documents, news clippings, and emails. The Epstein Files Transparency Act mandated the DOJ to release files related to the late sex offender and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Finally, at the premiere of the film "Melania," President Trump dominated the red carpet chatter, according to CBS News. While his wife was being photographed, Mr. Trump backed away from his wife so photographers could take some solo photos of her. He made headlines discussing the Federal Reserve, Iran, and Cuba. He told CBS News his Fed chair pick was "somebody that could have been there a few years ago." The president announced Friday morning that he's nominating former Federal Reserve Governor Kevin Warsh for the post.
