CNN’s Don Lemon Allegedly Sent Jussie Smollett Texts Informing Him of Police Investigation

CNN anchor Don Lemon allegedly sent disgraced actor Jussie Smollett texts during the Chicago Police Department’s investigation of his alleged hoax hate crime.

Testifying at his own trial on Monday, the former Empire star Jussie Smollett reportedly said under oath that he received a text message from Don Lemon informing him that Chicago police did not believe his account of what happened the night he claimed to have been the victim of a hate crime by two white Trump supporters.

According to the Daily Mail, Smollett’s remark “was presented and then struck from the record.”

“He said things began to seem off when he received a text message from Lemon claiming the Chicago police had reached out to him to say they didn’t believe Smollett,” noted the Mail.

After news broke that Jussie Smollett allegedly hired two brothers from Nigeria to stage the hate crime, Don Lemon, who had initially supported the actor, said that they were acquaintances.

“He even lied to a lot of people… including me. And that’s not cool,” Lemon said to his viewers. “He squandered the good will of very high-profile people who one day may be running this country like Kamala Harris and Cory Booker and people like President Trump.”

Is it just me, or does that sound like distancing between jussie’s lynching and Harris anti lynching bill.

Cover fire for redeployment of assets as it were.

Why else even bring this up in media ?

Hey don, pretty transparent.

Did you come up with this idea ?
Or were you directed ?

“Why does Lemon still have a job?”

Because he’s a black knob polisher?

Apparently a Chicago PD Officer told Don Lemon they weren’t buying Juicy’s story.
