Jussie Smollett, the “Empire” actor who allegedly faked a hate crime against himself and blamed it on supporters of President Donald Trump, saw all the charges against him dropped on March 26.

Smollett claimed that he was attacked by two white men on Jan. 29 in downtown Chicago but police later arrested two black Nigerian-Americans for attacking the actor.
