City of Chicago asks ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett to pay $130K for cost of investigation
The city of Chicago is seeking more than $130,000 from ‘Empire’ actor Jussie Smollett to pay for the cost of the investigation in which he “falsely claimed” that two men attacked him.
The city asked for an “immediate payment” of $130,106.15 “in an attempt to resolve this matter without further legal action, according to a letter sent from the Chicago Department of Law to Smollett’s attorneys, which was obtained by ABC News. A cashier’s check made payable to the “City of Chicago” was requested to be paid by money order or certified cashier’s check within seven days.
If the fee is not paid in a”timely” manner, the Chicago Department of Law will prosecute Smollett for making the “false” Jan. 29 statement, the letter warned. The city will also impose a fine between $500 and $1,000 in addition to up to three times the amount of damages.
Yeah you don't hear much talk about apprehending the criminals now because there were none!
Jussie just write a check to the city of Chicago.
Update: 4/4/2019 Jussie Smollett refuses to pay the $130,000. Liar, Fraud, Hoax, Mail Fraud.
He’s still maintaining his innocence?? I’m actually starting to feel bad for the guy like he’s got a mental illness or something
130K is nothing to him. This is a joke.
I need to get the f*** off that do dick listen he won regardless of anything. He had the money and he knew the presidents. It is the state of Chicago's fault for trying to look into the goddamn case and looking at the something that petty only reason they looked into it because they knew he had money and I guess your cargo wasn't doing very good if valves are rich City or somewhere else dies very wealthy they probably wouldn't even give a damn
There are real criminal, rapists, drug dealers, and other criminals out there but Trump and the other idiots want to give Jussie all of this energy. They look disgusting. Smh
He needs to be in jail. Disgrace.
He better pay or he’s gonna get recharged.
Jessie as we now call him is fellow blacks are hating on him.
I find it more revealing that Michelle’s chief of staff called and got him off, meanwhile Obama’s chief of staff is upset? The evolved slave catchers union is upset?
soros will pay the city. that asshole is on his way to star in a new movie remember hollywood is nothing but liberals
I want America to pay black people back for slavery, Jim Crow, colonialism, blood diamonds Malcolm X, Medger Evers, Emmit Til,

How is that retarded dumbass innocent? Hia name needs to be piss on, he gets no repect from me!
Why did ANC hire a narrator with a lisp (Michael Strahan)
Did they drop the charges so they could do this? This seems weird to me. This is weird.

This is a bunch of bull,those drama queens should pay out their own a…They framed this man and should be embarrassed. Since when do we put attacker in hotel rooms seem like they was so have to get that overtime just after Christmas too.Wasting taxpayers money is what happens all the time.These devil's used this man situation to distract the attention for what was going on and that's the Mueller investigation. The Coast Guard case didn't get that much attention. You dummies expect him too pay the city as you was feeding lobsters and crab legs to the officers and attackers in a hotel what a damn joke.The mayor and some corrupt cops need to retire your 15 min fame is over.Chicago Police need to solve some cold cases and stop worrying about an actor including are lovely president. When Botham got killed I didn't here him say anything too the family. These people like drama what sell and everybody made money magazines, tabloids, newspapers, YouTube and other network.All too distract the public so they don't follow the Mueller investigation yes all political. This had nothing to do with him the media and Chicago police is at fault and they trying to save.Too much time went into this when people are still waiting on who killed their loved ones.These devil's should be embarrassed what next we going to put rapist, murders,robbers in hotels.
The South African black controled government wants to kill whites and take their land away, this is what happens when the shoe is on the other foot in rulership.
He created a fake hate crime and now he's getting away with it. If he were white in a reverse fake hate crime story he'd be in jail by now. The Cook County attorneys are blacks that defend his disgusting actions.
