Chicago Police Supt. Says Jussie Smollett ‘Will Be Held Accountable’ if He Made a False Report.


Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson said Tuesday that Empire actor Jussie Smollett is still being treated as a victim in the alleged MAGA hate crime attack, but if the investigation reveals that he made a false report, he will be held accountable. Johnson’s comments mark the first time since the controversy erupted last week that a Chicago city official has suggested that the incident could in fact be a hoax.

Additionally, police are “getting their ducks in a row” for possible interrogations, according to Fox News‘ Matt Finn.

Smollett claims that his attackers made racial and anti-gay comments while using President Trump’s “MAGA” slogan during the 2 a.m. assault in frigid (-20 degree windchill) downtown Chicago. So far, no surveillance video has emerged showing the attack.
