CHICAGO (AP) – Jussie Smollett’s PR team says “every iota“ of  his account of being the victim of a racist, anti-gay attack in Chicago is supported by police evidence despite police repeatedly saying it was all staged.

The team emailed a statement Wednesday in response to the a city’s filing Monday defending the city’s lawsuit seeking to recoup costs of investigating what it says was a January publicity stunt.   Smollet’s PR Team’s statement says “every
iota of information … Smollett has stated has been fully corroborated.“    The team’s statement didn’t say what evidence allegedly backs Smollett’s claim that masked men hurling racist and homophobic insults beat him and looped a noose
around his neck.  

The city says GPS data, video and other evidence prove Smollett paid the men to fake a hate crime.   State prosecutors abruptly dropped charges against Smollett in March.   A special prosecutor is investigating that decision.
