Donald Trump took to Twitter to blast Jussie Smollet and his case in Chicago, calling the incident a 'hate crime' against him and his base of supporter.

The president, who is in Japan to meet the nation's new emperor, appeared to suggest that those who wanted to 'Make America Great Again' were the real victims of the actor's actions.

Smollett had claimed he was the victim of a hate crime after he told police he was attacked by two men, one of whom shouted 'this is MAGA country'. The actor was later accused of filing a false police report after two brothers came forward to say he'd paid them to stage the attack.

'In addition to great incompetence and corruption, The Smollett case in Chicago is also about a Hate Crime,' Trump said in the Saturday tweet. 'Remember, “MAGA COUNTRY DID IT!” That turned out to be a total lie, had nothing to do with “MAGA COUNTRY.” Serious stuff, and not even an apology to millions of people!'

This is the third time Trump has mentioned the Smollett case - he voiced his grievance once Smollett was released by Cook County and later mentioned him during a rallying cry in Wisconsin. He also voiced his displeasure with people who file fake police reports.

The 16 counts against Smollett, which included filing a false police report, were dismissed in March.

Earlier in May at an event for fallen police officer, Trump took aim at the former 'Empire' star as he complained about people who file false police reports.

'In recent years another dangerous trend has begun, a number prosecutors in cities such as Philadelphia and Chicago have decided not to prosecute many criminals who pose a severe threat to public safety and community well being,' he began. 'Every prosecutor takes an oath not to uphold the law, not to advance a political agenda.'

The 16 counts against Smollett were dismissed with little explanation in March

The Smollett case files were made public on Thursday by a judge who agreed with media lawyers that Smollett had no right to privacy because he had spoken openly about the case to defend himself.

The Cook County court record was unsealed and contained 250 pages of previously unseen paperwork but nothing in it was of particular note.

Six hundred pages of Chicago PD work, however, remains secret.

It is likely to be made public next week, once officers have had a chance to review what it and upload it to its website following an order from the court which it has not yet received.

Among the document which did become public on Thursday was SA Kim Foxx's letter to the Office of the Inspector General, asking for a review.

In its response to her, they noted, interestingly, that she had in the past refused such a review.

It is unclear what other cases were up for investigation. The Office of the Inspector General did not immediately respond to DailyMail.com's request for clarification on Friday morning.
