Two people have been arrested in connection with the attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, police confirmed Friday.

The men, who police have been identified as Nigerian brothers, were in custody after being picked up at the Chicago O’Hare airport Wednesday.

Their names have not been released, as the men have not yet been charged.

Police confirmed earlier Friday that the two people being questioned in the Jussie Smollett attack investigation were being classified as potential suspects.

They were initially described as persons of interest when police announced they were talking to them on Thursday.

Here's an hilarious lib. spin on this. NYDN simply can't let go of the Trump/MAGA hat hoax and can't bear to admit that the two "Nigerians" aren't white good 'ol boys from GA with MAGA hats. Fun to watch them twist in the wind to avoid admitting the hoax.

One Nigerian had an attempted murder charge plead down to assault in 2011.

This is indeed hilarious

Two black foreigners arrested for fake MAGA ass-kicking.

It really blows up every leftist narrative there is.

“So I punched his ass back,” Smollett told Robin Roberts

I've seen video of the 2 brothers (is it okay to call them that?) and it doesn't look like he would have gotten anything close to the long end of that stick.

Yup, and they failed to mention that the two were being looked at as being part of the hoax, not perpetrating a crime against the Empire racist. But then, it is MSN.

When I first saw this photo, it was obvious those two were not of the Caucasian persuasion. That knowledge comes from many years of real life observation.

We’re supposed to believe he wouldn’t have recognized two buff Nigerians with accents that he personally knew. And if they are on his phone logs he is toast
