WATCH: Cory Booker Refuses To Rush To Judgment On Smollett Case

Emily Zanotti

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Cory Booker (D-NY) was less forthcoming on the Jussie Smollett case Sunday than he was when the story first surfaced, telling reporters that he was adopting a “wait-and-see” approach to news Smollett is being investigated for orchestrating his own attack.

Reporter Elana Schor of the Associated Press caught Cory Booker in Washington, D.C., Sunday morning, and asked the presidential hopeful if he had further thoughts on Smollett’s case, after calling the incident a “modern day lynching” mere hours after Smollett claimed to have been attacked by two assailants yelling racist and anti-gay slurs.
