Sens. Kamala Harris (Calif.) and Cory Booker (N. J.), two of the Democrats running for the White House in 2020, called for judgement in the case of Jussie Smollett to be withheld until investigations have been completed.
Smollett, an actor on “Empire,” told Chicago police that he was assaulted around 2 a.m. on Jan. 29 by two men who placed a rope around his neck, beat him and poured an unknown chemical substance on him. The black, gay actor says that the two men, who he said were wearing masks, yelled racist and homophobic slurs at him.
This Saturday, multiple law enforcement officials familiar with the probe into the attack told CNN that police believed Smollett had actually paid two men to carry out the assault.
