EXCERPT:
WATT: "Just in the past few hours, Erin. We have just confirmed ourselves that Jussie Smollett has been charged here in Cook county with felony disorderly conduct. Now, earlier this afternoon, two brothers, two men who were arrested last week as suspects in this attack came here to the grand jury. Their lawyer just told us that they decided to man up and tell the truth. That lawyer told us that those two brothers were paid by Jussie Smollett. We have been hearing this from law enforcement sources for a few days now, that Smollett paid these men. He choreographed, he orchestrated this attack on himself. No, the attack took place back on January 29th, as you mentioned, questioned were raised pretty early on. It was 2:00 in the morning on a frigid cold night. Smollett took 30 or 40 minutes to report the incident to police. Questions were raised early on. But those two men who were seen on surveillance camera, they were arrested, then they released on Friday night when police said that new evidence had come to light. Now, on Saturday, which was the last time we heard from Smollett’s lawyers, they were still saying that it could not be further from the truth, this accusation that he orchestrated it. Now, Erin, it looks like it may well be the truth. Erin."
