The former Empire actor claimed he was attacked by two men who who had shouted 'This is MAGA country!'
Those two men, brothers Abimbola and Ola Osundairo, testified against Smollett at his trial and said they had been paid $3,500 to carry out the attack in downtown Chicago. Smollett called the men"liars."
"This was an absolute con job," Trump said."He was a conman and he wanted to try and get sympathy so he could have his contract renewed for his ridiculous television series, but that didn't work out too well. And then on top of it, he got caught."
