Lemon LIVE at 5 | Did Pete Hegseth Commit War Crimes? – December 1st, 2025

Tonight we’re diving into all the major stories of the day, and the chaos is piling up fast.
First, did Pete Hegseth order the second Venezuelan boat strike? The White House can’t seem to get its story straight, and the conflicting explanations are only raising more questions. If these reports are true, we’re looking at actions that many experts say could constitute war crimes, and the pressure for accountability is growing.
Then we turn to Alina Habba. A federal appeals court has ruled that she had been serving unlawfully as the U.S. attorney in New Jersey, a stunning blow to the Trump administration.
Don is traveling tonight, so we’re joined by guest host Charles Coleman, MSNBC legal analyst, former prosecutor, and civil rights attorney, to help us break it all down.
