Ed. Note: Welcome to our daily feature Trivia Question of the Day!

The Department of Justice’s 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?

Hint: In a statement, his lawyer said, “The magistrate’s reported actions confirm the nature of Don’s 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.” Which, naturally, is a stark contrast to the Attorney General’s reaction, because according to reports, the AG is “enraged at the magistrate judge’s decision.”
