Excerpt:
According to TMZ, the Chicago Corporation Counsel – who handles civil claims for the City – have sent a letter to Jussie demanding he pay the $130,000, to compensate for the overtime pay for police who investigated his case.

In the letter, the counsel wrote: “Over two dozen detectives and police officers participated in the investigation, ultimately spending weeks investigating your false claims.

“The Chicago police investigation revealed that you knowingly filed a false police report and had in fact orchestrated your own attack.”

The City is demanding “immediate payment” within seven days, and if the 36-year-old actor doesn’t hand over the cash, the Corporation Counsel vows to “prosecute you for making a false statement under the Municipal Code of Chicago.”

The prosecution would be different from the criminal case that was recently dismissed, and whilst Jussie wouldn’t be threatened with jail time, the threat carries a fine of $500. However, the City could file for three times the actual damages, meaning Jussie would then owe $390,000. […] – MSN.com

[Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) said Thursday that city officials will be sending actor Jussie Smollett a bill after 16 charges against the “Empire” star were dropped earlier this week.

In an interview with WGN Radio, Emanuel said city officials deserved to know exactly what happened the night of Smollett’s alleged assault.

“He is charged with 16 counts for creating a hoax about a hate crime. He walks out, says, ‘I’m innocent.’ They say, ‘No, he’s guilty, the police work was good,'” Emanuel said.

“Now, you can’t be both on the same case. So to me, was he or was he not guilty of a hoax, or was there a hate crime committed? Yes or no, it’s a very simple question,” he added. “There’s no sense of contrite. No remorse.”

Emanuel went on to say that his office would direct the city’s corporation council to analyze costs associated with the investigation and take action against Smollett.

“The police are right now finalizing the cost that was used of police resources to come to the understanding that in fact this was a hoax,” he said.

“We will then send a letter to Jussie Smollett and his attorney trying to recoup those costs,” Emanuel said, adding that the actor’s $10,000 bond didn’t “even come close to what the city spent in resources.” ]-TheHill

Perhaps Jussie is about to find out that “Black wealth” and power STILL only gets you so far.

Well Wil you know Trump. He’s nothing if not a 2-legged walking billboard of irony!
