Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has dropped the 16 counts against Smollett regarding his report of a hate crime that police claim Smollett made up and staged himself. 

WLS in Chicago reports that the FBI is reviewing the circumstances surrounding the dismissal of criminal charges and that a hearing to expunge his criminal record has been delayed.
