President Donald Trump says FBI will look into Jussie Smollett case

[USA Today] WASHINGTON ‐ President Donald Trump said Thursday he would have the FBI and the Justice Department review "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett case.

"It is an embarrassment to our Nation!" Trump tweeted.

It is unclear whether federal authorities would have any jurisdiction over the Smollett case.

Trump's critics said the president is playing racial politics with the Smollett case, seeking to undercut the victims of real racial violence that is on the rise.

"By claiming a false attack, Smollett tried to exploit the hate @realDonaldTrump has stirred," tweeted David Axelrod, adviser to President Barack Obama. "Now, predictably, Trump is moving to exploit Smollett’s exploitation. Talk about a vicious circle!"

Local prosecutors in Chicago announced Tuesday they were dropping disorderly conduct charges against Smollett for filing a false police report. The decision came less than three weeks after the actor was indicted on charges that he paid two men to stage a hoax attack to make him look like the victim of a racist hate crime.

Smollett’s legal team is taking offense with comments to the media by Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office officials, saying prosecutors and police are "continuing their campaign" against the actor. Prosecutors said they’ve dropped the charges, but insist that doesn't mean Smollett was exonerated of wrongdoing.

#3 I think even the most politically-blind can see some sort of desperate cover-up going on.

I'll bet it was kamala and smollett conspiring for the "anti-lynching" vote.

#6 The theory was advanced at the outset of this case that Smollett's story was too stupid to be the result of a Soros level conspiracy. But, remember, these are most likely some of the same people who brought you Russian collusion.

#8 Kim Foxx has said sealing the record was an accident. I wonder what she says about the files disappearing.

#9 I don't think Jussie ratted anybody out given that he's threatening to sue Chicage PD or whomever.

#10 Chicago Trees

They shade from bright red at the root
Till they simper, half-black, at the shoot:
Progressively duller
In credo and color,
And bearing some very strange fruit.
