Don Lemon Says He Was Arrested During Grammys Week: They Want to ‘Embarrass,’ ‘Intimidate’ You’

‘That’s why they did it that way’
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

LEMON: “And it was a bunch of guys and they took me outside, FBI guys were out there. I mean, it had to be maybe a dozen people, which is a waste, Jimmy, of resources because I had told them weeks before — maybe once or twice — that we would — I think my attorney tried to contact them once, maybe twice — that I could just go in and it would have to be the folks who are just working that day. They wouldn’t have to have all these people following me around."

KIMMEL: "It’s more than just a waste of resources. So they grab you and they take you where?"

LEMON: "You’re right about more than just waste of resources. They want that. They want to embarrass you. They want to intimidate you. They want to instill fear. So that’s why they did it that way. They took me down to a holding place at the federal courthouse."
