The city is preparing to sue the actor after he missed the deadline to pay.
Joe Magats, the first assistant state attorney in Illinois, told ABC Chicago station WLS, "We stand behind the investigation and the facts revealed," and, "We believe he did what he was charged with doing," and, "This was not an exoneration. To say that he was exonerated by us or anyone is not true."
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel said dropping the charges against Smollett "is without a doubt a whitewash of justice." A federal investigation into a threatening letter investigators say was part of the hoax is still underway. "Empire" is produced by 21st Century Fox, now part of the Walt Disney Co., also the parent company of ABC News.
