[FOXNEWS] Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx described "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett as a "washed up celeb who lied to cops" in texts messages released Tuesday by her office in response to a public-records request by the Chicago Tribune.
Foxx compared Smollett’s case to her office’s pending indictments against R&B singer R. Kelly in text messages to Joseph Magats, her top assistant, on March 8, the paper reported
"Pedophile with 4 victims 10 counts. Washed up celeb who lied to cops, 16 (counts)," she wrote. "... Just because we can charge something doesn’t mean we should." |
