<p>In a new legal filing, former &#8220;Empire&#8221; star Jussie Smollett&#8217;s attorneys attempted to connect his ongoing legal battle with the City of Chicago to the protests sweeping the nation after the death of George Floyd.</p>
<p>In the filing, first reported by <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/06/08/jussie-smollett-protests-city-of-chicago-case-police-misconduct/">TMZ</a> and since published <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8400205/Jussie-Smollett-invokes-George-Floyd-protests-ongoing-legal-battle-Chicago.html">online</a>, Smollett&#8217;s lawyers try to use the protests against police, which have increasingly taken the form of the radical &#8220;Defund The Police&#8221; movement, to the embattled actor&#8217;s advantage. The city is suing Smollett for $130,000 for resources officials say were wasted on investigating Smollett&#8217;s claim that he was the victim of a violent attack by two white racists and homophobes, which investigators determined was allegedly a hate crime hoax &#8220;coordinated&#8221; by Smollett himself.</p>
