A source briefed on the Smollett investigation confirmed to ABC News that Chicago police are questioning the two persons of interest – one of whom has appeared on “Empire.”
So what are the chances of that ^^^^^^^^ happening?
The Jussie Smollett case appears to be coming to a conclusion and the persons of interest will reportedly be charged Friday for helping stage an attack on the actor at his direction.
A top source for CBS News said “We [investigators] believe the non-cooperating two witnesses are co-conspirators in a potentially staged attack” of Jussie Smollett. The “persons of interest” are of Nigerian descent and left for Nigeria the day of the attack, hours after. Chicago police say they both worked with Jussie Smollett as extras on the set of his show ‘Empire’.
The two men were picked up at the airport and are reportedly uncooperative. We want to know if they were wearing Maga hats.
Looking for @Pragmatic to explain these reports. He is apparently Jussie’s buddy. He will know.
Police left behind an inventory list. Some of the items seized include a black face mask hat, an Empire script, phone, receipts, a red hat, and bleach.
