Rahm Emanuel says Chicago will make Jussie Smollett pay for $130,000 investigation
CHICAGO — The city of Chicago will attempt to force “Empire” star Jussie Smollett to pay back $130,000 for the police investigation of what investigators and prosecutors say was a staged attack orchestrated by the actor, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and police officials said Thursday.
“When does pay the city back on just what the taxpayers have fronted, in that memo section , he can write, ‘I’m sorry and I’m accountable for what I’ve done,'” Emanuel said. Smollett was classified as a victim by police for several weeks after the incident. Police eventually identified two men—brothers who had worked with Smollett on the set of “Empire”— that carried out the attack.
The move to drop the case was met by condemnation from police and Emanuel. The prosecutor’s office did not give the police officials or the mayor any forewarning that they were dropping the charges.
