Nigerian Brothers’ Attorney on Smollett Team Suggestion They Wore ‘Whiteface: ‘Absolutely Atrocious,’ ‘Giving Lawyers a Bad Name’

SCHMIDT: “I -- I heard that, and I think that's absolutely just atrocious. It adds to, I think, why people are giving lawyers a bad name. It's to distract from the real issues here and by putting out conspiracy theories that, perhaps, my clients were wearing whiteface, it just adds to the ridiculous and the offensiveness of this entire thing.”
