Steve Gruber, "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett plotted an attack to make himself look like the victim of a brutal racial, homophobic crime, prosecutors say

Here are 3 big things you need to know
THREE – Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan accused the Republican National Committee of taking “unprecedented” steps to shield President Trump from primary challengers. Hogan is being courted by Republicans seeking an alternative to Trump, told Politico in an interview that he was disgusted by RNC efforts to close ranks around Trump. That shouldn’t be a surprise. That’s what happens with an incumbent president with a track record of economic success. Hogan though appears closer to getting in the race. A bad idea.
TWO – Get ready for a “bomb cyclone”. A powerful low pressure system is moving through Michigan this weekend and that could mean 50 mile per hour winds. Tie down those lawn chairs, if they’re still out, and be prepared for power outages across the lower peninsula.
AND ON TOP – "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett plotted an attack to make himself look like the victim of a brutal racial, homophobic crime, prosecutors say. He scouted out the exact location with the two brothers he paid to stage the hoax, offered specific instructions on how he wanted to be beaten, and even gave them $100 to buy supplies used in the staged assault. That’s according to prosecutors. This is one crime so poorly planned … only an actor would think it might work.
