- Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Wednesday said he wanted to “find out what happened” that caused prosecutors to abruptly drop charges that had accused “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett of staging a hoax hate crime to boost his career.
“Let’s get to the bottom of this,” Emanuel said in an ABC News interview. “Let’s find out what happened.” On Tuesday, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office said it stood by its accusation against Smollett but was dropping all the charges, saying the actor’s prior community service and his agreeing to forfeit his $10,000 bond was a just outcome.
Smollett earned widespread sympathy from celebrities and some Democratic presidential candidates over his account of the alleged assault.
