Jussie Smollett is being questioned again by Chicago PD ... and officers are also talking to another man, an actor who has also appeared on "Empire" ... TMZ has learned.
Sources connected to the case tell us the actor, not Jussie, was picked up by Chicago PD Wednesday night right after he flew into O'Hare Airport. We're told Jussie was brought in Thursday morning for additional questioning. Another man who was with the actor at O'Hare was also taken in for questioning.
The two individuals are being questioned as "persons of interest." Police won't say if they are the same 2 people seen in the grainy image released last month. But, law enforcement sources tell TMZ, they believe the 2 people were at the scene of the alleged attack.
As for how cops ID'd the 2 people they're questioning -- we're told they used rideshare and/or taxicab records to track their locations the night of the alleged incident.
Jussie is on record saying he believes the 2 men in the grainy image are the ones who attacked him.
Story developing ...
Jussie doesn’t seem to know his legal rights. Probably can’t read above a 5th grade level.
No wonder flaming homo went on GMA to cry his little eyes out..he’s knows he’s FINISHED..this was all about publicity and he failed miserably
Remember when out-of-work actors would complain "I can't get arrested in this town" ?
Read the comments at the TMZ link. Hilarious.................
Once his hoax has been completely exposed.... count on the MSM to carry thousands of stories about how this is the fault of POTUS, due to racism or whatever.... Even when it turns out there was no attack, no hate crime, nothing.
But it will be POTUS’ fault that this sleazebag “celebrity” thought this was a good idea to advance his career - or - his mental state is so fragile due to TDS, that he needs our support and pity.
Jussie, just to clear your good name, can we look at your phone records?
No? How about you take a lie detector test, just to put all of this skepticism to rest?
No? Why not?
The commie media will NEVER apologize for running with this bogus story..they KNEW it was BS within the hour..yeah Chicago is MAGA country since when LOL..but its all about the greater good cause ya know, Trump is evil and stuff
Someone else claimed to have been on the phone with him at the time and heard the attack.
Since it was fictional, they should ask him to sign an affidavit punishable by perjury charges.
When he comes clean and confess that he was not on the phone (because it didnt happen) then put the screws to this hate crime HOAXER for filing a false report and blaming Trump supporters.
How many thousands of “hate crime” hoaxes have the media headlined over the last 30 years?
Just a few weeks ago they were running with a story of white guys killing an 8yo black kid, turns out it was black drug dealers. That was followed by the Covington Kids hoax. Remember how MSNBC deliberately altered Zimmerman’s 911 call, and how they would lightening his complexion and always referred to him as a “white Hispanic”? Remember the “hands up don’t shoot” hoax?
Watch, in another week the media will be at it again, promoting another hoax. They never apologize, they just move on to the next hoax.
“Read the comments at the TMZ link. Hilarious.................”
LOL! They really don’t censor anything do they?

CWB Chicago is reporting that it received a tip a week ago that Smolletts friends bought the rope at Ace Hardware and took a Lyft to the scene of the crime.
I think they knew all along...................
Of course!
Ace is The Place with the helpful hardware man!...................
And the cops have had his actual phone records all along, just wanted to see what he would try to hide.
Note to all you smart people who constantly shitpost about how “nothing will happen”... suggest you get your orders for CROW in before the rush.
Comments say that they found/followed these actors from Lyft/taxi logs. They apparently went to an Ace Hardware.
I wonder what they sell there? Oh I know...rope. You know like the rope the “attackers” tied around his neck.
Ruh roh...someone is busted.
Stupid actors would have no idea where a hardware store was, so they probably had to either ax the driver or Google it.
“Where to buy rope for fake hate crime w/in 2 miles.”
“If I can’t find rope for a noose, will clothesline from ACE work?”
Has he lawyered up?
At this point, there’s a reason why some people are sick of whiny $#$:$#.
