Update on Jussie Smollett Incident: Homes raided, full phone records and… some interesting relationships
Update 2: Chicago Police Spokesman Anthony Guglielmi said that reports claiming the attack was a hoax are not yet confirmed and everything is being investigated.
Media reports anout the Empire incident being a hoax are unconfirmed by case detectives. Supt Eddie Johnson has contacted @ABC7Chicago to state on the record that we have no evidence to support their reporting and their supposed CPD sources are uninformed and inaccurate. pic.twitter.com/iSO5YFv452

Update 1: CBS Chicago’s Brad Edwards is now reporting that the police investigators think that Jussie Smollett and the two “people of interest” were involved in a staged attack.

“Multiple sources have told ABC7 Eyewitness News that police are investigating whether Smollett and the two men staged the attack allegedly because Smollett was being written off of Empire,” according to an ABC-7 report.

Police have raided the home of two persons of interest seizing bleach, shoes, electronics and more and the suspects are Nigerian men who appeared as extras on ‘Empire.’ The two men in left for Nigeria the day of the attack.
This information is according to family who says home was ransacked. I asked family why they think police picked the two brothers up for questioning and they replied by saying the men left for #Nigeria the day of the attack. @cbschicago

CPD sources have told Newsmax’s John Cardillo that the suspects are only being treated as material witnesses to the alleged attack.
CPD sources tell me they’re being questioned not as alleged attackers, but as material witnesses to the likely and very costly #JussieSmollettHoax. https://t.co/qupg6TA7o1

The police had the phone records they did a dump on the cellphone tower nearby. They had Jussie Smollett’s phone records the whole time and CPD set up the actor to see if he was lying. Smollett appears to have tampered with evidence.

MORE: Source states phone records provided by Smollett were a spreadsheet. He downloaded his phone activity into a spreadsheet and then deleted certain phone calls. “He did the [detectives’] job for them because then they only had to focus on the numbers he deleted.”

So far despite the raids, there has not been any evidence to show the attack happened, still, no security camera footage in the most surveilled city in the union has shown this attack happened but his original story has completely collapsed and the indicators are showing that Jussie Smollett fabricated the story of assault.

I am confused. Are the two “material witnesses” American or Nigerian? Are they in Nigeria or the U.S. ? Kudos to the young author for writing so prolifically, but maybe take just a little more time to proofread and edit the story for clarity before publishing.
I apologize. Andrew is one of our newer contributors. As the editor, I should have caught that. Both men are Nigerian and are brothers. Both have been arrested by authorities which counters Smollet’s claim that his attackers were white.
