Ana Navarro suggested on Monday that President Donald Trump and his administration had effectively cooked the books in their efforts to arrest former CNN host Don Lemon in connection with a protest that disrupted a Minneapolis church service a week earlier. Navarro and her cohosts on ABC’s midday talk show “The View” discussed Lemon’s arrest, and their conversation covered the entire spectrum, from Navarro and Sunny Hostin insisting that the case had no merit and would be dismissed to Whoopi Goldberg wringing her hands and warning that the Trump administration could arrest anyone the president didn’t like. Navarro began by claiming that an appellate court’s refusal to compel a lower court judge to sign off on Lemon’s arrest warrant amounted to judges laughing the DOJ out of their courtrooms. She did not mention the fact that one of the judges concerned said that he agreed there was probable cause to arrest Lemon. “So, they basically did it themselves,” she asserted. “Make no mistake about it. This was about gaslighting, this was about going against Don lemon and other journalists. By the way, all of whom happen to be black. Happy Black History Month. And I think it’s to send a chilling message to anybody who is covering facts.” WATCH: Despite the grand jury indictment, Sunny Hostin (who’s friends with Lemon) proclaims “this case will be thrown out.” While not going over any of the facts of the case, Hosting declares: “[H]e was getting the story and nothing should have gotten in the way of that. He had a… pic.twitter.com/B3uvC56BQR — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 2, 2026 Hostin, also ignoring that fact that Lemon was indicted by a federal grand jury, claimed that the former CNN host was only acting as a journalist covering the protest as it unfolded — despite video appearing to show that he was privy to the plans prior to the group storming into the church while parishioners attempted to hold a worship service. Cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin also defended Lemon, claiming that he had acted only as a journalist. WATCH: Whoopi seems to suggests what happened with Lemon will happen to everyone on the left: “Listen, what I said to you before, you see what’s happening, you know what’s happening. If it’s happening like this for someone who is out and clearly doing his job, what do you think will… pic.twitter.com/39028c42wV — Nicholas Fondacaro (@NickFondacaro) February 2, 2026 Goldberg hit the panic button, however, and fretted about how easy it might be for the Justice Department to arrest anyone if Lemon was fair game. “Listen, what I said to you before, you see what’s happening, you know what’s happening. If it’s happening like this for someone who is out and clearly doing his job, what do you think will happen to us?” Since the protest just over a week earlier, several disturbing reports have come out detailing the behavior of the protesters — who reportedly harassed and terrified members of the congregation — while inside the church.

New details have emerged in the case of a young female detransitioner who last week won a $2 million judgment against the doctors who performed a double mastectomy on her when she was just 16 years old. Notably, the plaintiff, Fox Varian, had her healthy breasts removed about one year after she first started questioning her gender. The teen’s mother was also pressured into signing off on the surgery, as one medical professional effectively said Varian would kill herself without the surgery. Varian was given the name Isabella at birth, but changed it numerous times during the fallout from her parents’ split, which included the estrangement of her father, independent journalist Benjamin Ryan said on X. Ryan was in the courtroom for the entire trial, and reported for the Free Press. The young girl suffered from depression, anxiety, and social phobia and was diagnosed with autism and bounced around various schools, Ryan said. She also suffered from eating disorders and body-image issues. However, at just 15 years old, she started to question her gender “during sessions with her psychologist,” who has been identified as psychologist Kenneth Einhorn. Just 11 months after Varian started to socially “transition,” the 16-year-old was on an operating table, where Dr. Simon Chin removed her healthy breasts. In another shocking, yet unsurprising detail, Varian’s mother, Claire Deacon, was pressured by medical professionals, namely Einhorn, into signing off on her daughter’s surgical transition. Einhorn insisted Varian was going to kill herself without the surgery. Deacon was effectively presented with the option of having a dead daughter or a “son” who has undergone trans procedures. The jury found that medical professionals failed to consider other possible explanations for Varian’s mental health issues — like depression, ADHD, autism, or body dysmorphia — and rushed to approve an irreversible surgery. Varian, who recently turned 22, was awarded roughly $1.6 million for past and future suffering, and an additional $400,000 for future medical costs. Claire Deacon, mother to Fox Varian, the detransitioner who won a $2M jury award after suing her care providers over the mastectomy she got at 16, testified that Varian’s psychologist, Kenneth Einhorn, browbeat her into consenting with threats of her child’s suicide. I report… pic.twitter.com/3vCfk54FNT — Benjamin Ryan (@benryanwriter) February 2, 2026 There are more than two dozen cases still pending similar to Varian’s, with detransitioners suing medical professionals for irreversible harm. Varian’s verdict could be the beginning of the end of the mutilation of children in the name of transgenderism. “The case could be a model for other lawsuits over such surgeries performed on minors,” legal expert Jonathan Turley said. “There are more than two dozen such lawsuits currently pending in various courts.” The case could be a model for other lawsuits over such surgeries performed on minors.
