Chicago Tribune: Cook County prosecutors drop all charges against ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett
In a stunning move, Cook County prosecutors on Tuesday dropped all charges against “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett on disorderly conduct charges for allegedly staging a phony attack and claiming he was the victim of a hate crime.
This announcement comes as a major about-face in the Smollett investigation. Law enforcement officials had indicated the actor had lied about the attack.
