President Trump says FBI, DOJ will review 'Empire' actor Jussie Smollett's case
President Donald Trump weighed in on the decision to drop all charges against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett, announcing in a tweet Thursday that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Department of Justice would both "review" the case.
Prosecutors cleared Smollett of all charges earlier this week despite acknowledging that the actor fabricated a street attack on himself in an attempt to get a pay raise. Officials said they dropped the charges in order to focus resources on violent crime.
