Actor Jussie Smollett arrived in Chicago on Monday night. He was out to get fast food at 2 a.m. when he was allegedly attacked by two Trump supporters in MAGA hats who recognized him in the freezing air, beat him, poured bleach on him and put a noose on his neck.
Police have video of Jussie in a Subway around the time.
On Wednesday night police released video of two individuals walking down the street in winter coats.
That’s all they got after hours of viewing surveillance video.

Chicago Police do not have any video of the assailants and continue to look for surveillance video. Investigators heard the "MAGA country" claim in media reports and called Smollett again. In that supplemental interview he shared that info with police. 2/2
