Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show, live on Sirius XM Channel 111 every weekday at noon east.
Hey everyone, I'm Megyn Kelly. Welcome to The Megyn Kelly Show and happy Friday. Hope you're hunkering down in anticipation of the big storm. If you are anywhere on the right half of the country, physical right. We have so much goodness in store for you today before the weekend, but first... Don Lemon taunting the Department of Justice to come after him again. Oh, he's such a tough guy. After a federal magistrate judge refused to sign off on criminal charges against him for his role in last weekend's church protest, in quotes, in Minnesota. Lemon is loving every minute of this. He's never had so much attention because no one cares about him. last night likening himself to Jimmy Kimmel.
Look, I stand proud and I stand tall. This is not a victory lap for me because it's not over. They're going to try again and they're going to try again. And guess what? Here I am. Keep trying. That's not going to stop me from being a journalist. You're not going to diminish my voice. Go ahead. Make me into the new Jimmy Kimmel if you want. Just do it. Because I'm not going anywhere and I'm going to believe the same things whether you want to, whatever.
Yes, please do it. And the person who could do it is with me now. She is Harmeet Dhillon. She is the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights at the DOJ. From Amazon MGM Studios comes Melania. Every detail, every decision, every stitch intentional. This new film takes you inside the 20 days leading up to the 2025 presidential inauguration through the eyes of the first lady herself. From fittings to critical meetings to private moments, witness the precision behind her return to one of the world's most powerful roles, Melania. Only in theaters January 30th. Harmeet, great to see you again. So are we going to do it?
Well, we are going to do it because that's what is required for justice here. And from Sunday, when I first saw the video that Don Lemon himself put out about his conduct that day, it was clear to me that we had the predicates for pursuing face act and conspiracy.

They buttressed the case that we could witness from Lemon's own testimony and statements and admissions against interest in his own videos. And we have aggressively and very rapidly sought legal process. Now, I will say it's been a little frustrating because for 48 hours, Between the time that we sought these arrest warrants and the time that we were able to make arrests and say what the judge did in refusing to sign off on Lemons, you know, it had to stay silent.
We have certain protocols here at the Department of Justice. But he is not out of legal jeopardy. And he has lawyered up. He has a prominent lawyer. And, you know, we're going to pursue this to the ends of the earth.
Good. So it's not over. He's not out of the woods just because this one magistrate judge decided not to sign off on the warrant. This judge, this magistrate judge, we now know, is married to somebody who works for Keith Ellison, the attorney general of the state of Minnesota. The judge's name is Douglas Mikko, M-I-C-K-O, the magistrate judge who refused to sign the warrant. And we found out that his wife, Caitlin, who works for Keith Ellison in the AG's office, recently reposted first a Happy Holidays photo of her with the judge. So that's why we know they're married. But separately on LinkedIn, Harmeet, This woman, OK, again, she's married to the judge who denied the warrant. She recently loved this message from the solicitor general in AG Ellison's office.
