How come the NBC News link does not show those videos?
My first guess - the Persons of Interest are NOT white.
I also noticed that the NBC report does not mention the rope that was tied around Jussie Smollett's neck that the Police actually witnessed when they responded to his 911 call.
Trump should order the FBI to interview Smollett, since hate crimes are a federal offense, too.
"Lying" to the FBI is a felony, as four defendants in the Russia Collusion Hoax have discovered.
The “persons of interest” were two people seen in the general area. In the video you can’t see what they are. Presumably they are men.
