A prominent Democratic congresswoman has weighed in on the recent developments of Jussie Smollett’s case, saying that the Illinois state prosecutors made the right move to drop the actor’s charges.
In an interview with Extra, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said she thought it was the “correct” thing for prosecutors to drop 16 felony counts against Smollett. The “Empire” actor, who is black and gay, was accused of faking a hate crime against himself and blaming it on supporters of President Donald Trump.
