Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot is vowing to “aggressively” hold embattled former “Empire” star Jussie Smollett “accountable” for the “total hoax” police say he orchestrated last year.
“He needs to face the charges,” said Lightfoot on Sunday, as reported CBS Chicago. “He committed a crime, and he needs to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and we are going to continue to aggressively make him accountable for the wasted police resources that went into investigating what turned out to be a total hoax.”
