It is starting to look a lot like “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett is about to be charged with something.

The two Nigerian men who were arrested in the case were let go with no charges filed against them.

And the police said that they let the men go because of “new evidence” they found.

“Due to new evidence as a result of today’s interrogations, the individuals questioned by police in the Empire case have now been released without charging and detectives have additional investigative work to complete,” Chicago Police Department spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said.

It sounds a lot like the two black men who were arrested, who Jussie somehow confused with white men, started singing.

Another clue is that fact that Smollett has hired Michael Monico, the attorney representing notorious liar Michael Cohen, Variety reported.

Why would the victim of a crime need to hire an attorney? Many on Twitter are questioning the veracity of Smollett’s claims.
