Jussie Smollett goes on trial for fake race attack claim
Chicago’s omnipotent Democratic Party machine won’t be able to help disgraced Empire star Jussie Smollett now.
The 39-year-old actor will be in a Windy City courtroom Monday for jury selection at his trial for allegedly orchestrating a bogus racial attack. Sources have said it was a gambit to get more screen time on the smash show.
Ghislaine Maxwell sex trafficking trial finally set to begin in New York
Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial is finally set to start in New York, 17 months after the British socialite was arrested for allegedly trafficking minors on behalf of former boyfriend Jeffrey Epstein.
Maxwell denies recruiting teenagers as young as 14 for the disgraced paedophile financier to sexually abuse from 1994 to 2004.
Prosecutors say Maxwell, 59, befriended girls with shopping and movie theatre trips, later coaxing them into giving Epstein nude massages at his various residences, during which he would engage in sex acts before giving them money.
