CHICAGO -- Now that charges have been dropped against Jussie Smollett, the "Empire" actor's attorney is trying to shift attention back on two brothers who told police they were paid by Smollett to help stage a racist, anti-gay attack on him.
Authorities still believe Smollett concocted the attack in which he said two masked men beat him on Jan. 29. He also said they yelled, "This is MAGA country" -- an apparent reference to President Donald Trump's campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again." Smollett, who is black and gay, also said the men doused him with a chemical and put a noose around his neck. And Smollett told a detective that at least one of the attackers was white, according to Chicago police.
The Osundairo brothers told police that Smollett paid them $3,500 to help stage the attack. Smollett said the $3,500 paid to the brothers was for fitness training. Chicago police detained the brothers in mid-February at O'Hare International Airport after their return from Nigeria. They were questioned and their apartment in Chicago was searched.
You mean the brothers you paid with a cheque to perpetrate this hoax
“on the attack” You misspelled the ‘faked attack’
Just like trump.....just can't walk away. I hope this does drag out. Let the scum of the earth show their faces!
