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 ...
I wonder if his castmate from Empire was one of the numbers he deleted from the phone record he provided the CPD?
I also wonder if Jussie will offer them enough $$$$$$ to take the fall, instead of admitting that Jussie was in on the whole thing.
“LOL! They really don’t censor anything do they?”
Yes, they do. I’ve had a couple of mine removed.
Btw, also according to CWB, the persons of interest are “friends” of Smollett and “black”.
Might wanna hold off a bit on that order of crow. TMZ is NOT a very reliable source on this story. Remember, it was TMZ that invented the lie about “MAGA caps” being worn by the “attackers”
I still think nothing will happen if wrong I WILL come back and admit my error. BTW, a ten dollar fine or some other such BS equals “nothing”
And Nigerian. Not children of Nigerian immigrants, but residents of Nigeria, with nice Nigerian accents. Even with masks, Jussie would know their voices. But no mention in the police report that these "rednecks" had Nigerian accents.
Eh, mon! Dis MAGA Coontree!
He’s a supposed actor but this scene doesn’t seem to be working out for him.
Wow. This is really turning out to be the Crime of the Century.
It makes me want to FReep this snide comment. Downvote the "Immigrant FLOTUS" handle and upvote the reasoned response from "Sandy Underpants", (must live on the beach).

What a terrible day. Thousands of Trump supporters alone on Valentines Day,
still no wall and the national emergency was just another lie.

Isn't millions of people illegally crossing into your country an emergency?
Americans are so stupid it's like if it's been going on forever, then it's okay,
no emergency here.ProClicker → Immigrant FLOTUS • 23 minutes ago
-Upvotes himself because he has no friends
Racist fraud.
Seems like if the two are who the stories say they are, he would have identified them right off the bat.
The comment at TMZ linking the timing of the fake attack to Kamala Harris’s announcement that she is running for president is intriguing.
He will now..................
1. Yes.
2. No.......................
People too stupid to realize that going somewhere using Uber and Lyft creates a record of your travel that police can access whenever they want.
They ain’t the sharpest nails in the box.
I wonder if Robin Roberts at GMA feels like a fool yet?....................
