Jussie Smollett Faces Deadline To Pay City Of Chicago $130,000

Jussie Smollett has reached a critical deadline today in a case that made national headlines.

Chicago officials are waiting on the actor to pay $130,000 for an investigation of a hate crime they say he staged. If Smollett does not pay up he faces a civil lawsuit.

Jussie Smollett was charged with 16 felony counts in the case, but those charges were dropped last month.
