Fox Business labeled Jussie Smollett’s exoneration a
A Wednesday Fox Business segment labeled Jussie Smollett’s exoneration a « travesty of justice » and sought to confirm conspiracy theories Michelle Obama called in « favors » to get his charges dropped by Cook County prosecutors. Fox Business host Stuart Varney opened his Tuesday segment declaring « the influence and power of liberal elites » was on full display in Chicago this week as Illinois prosecutors waived 16 charges against the Empire star. Self-proclaimed libertarian and Sean Hannity correspondent Lawrence Jones III touted unfounded and baseless claims former First Lady Michelle Obama « made some phone calls » to have the charges dropped in order to distract Americans from the disclosure of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation into President Donald Trump.
Although Republican Senate House Majority Leader Mitch McConnell was behind the blocking of the full Mueller report, the Fox crew nonetheless accused Democrat politicians — and their wives — of corrupting Cook County prosecutors.
