I heard they found the rope and bleach where the two associates were living. Along with a receipt that either one or both bought the rope from Ace Hardware. Is that true?

Yes, but now Smollett is claiming they didn't get the email discount because of "White Privilege".

Kidding, but you know it's coming. Here is a sourced article stating the purchase at Ace.

The sources told CNN that there are records that show the two brothers purchased the rope found around Smollett's neck at an Ace Hardware store in Chicago.
