No one can say they've treated anyone unfairly or ignored the accusations to this point, and the leaks to the media suggest they've been several steps ahead of Jussie and his attorneys the whole time.


Meanwhile, the pressure builds....

Rafer is a local TV reporter in Chicago. His dad was an anchor in Chicago for years.

In fact, his dad used to have a blooper segment called "Weigel's Wieners". He probably would've had some fun with this whole situation.

CBS News has learned that a last-minute phone call may have saved "Empire" star Jussie Smollett from potentially being indicted. The brothers were set to appear in front of a grand jury Tuesday.

But CBS News correspondent Dean Reynolds reports those plans were abruptly scrapped after a "Hail Mary" call from Smollett's defense team. CBS News has learned that Nigerian brothers Ola and Abel Osundairo were waiting outside the grand jury chambers, just minutes from testifying, when prosecutors got the call from Smollett's lawyers.

It's unclear what the defense said, but the Cook County state's attorney decided to postpone the brothers' testimony, which would have been the first step toward indicting the 36-year-old actor for filing a false police report.


Uhhh ohhh. Sounds like team sweep is attempting to cover this up.

This reeks of having deeper roots than Jussie. He is a nobody. I starting to think Harris or Booker may be involved.

If this story completely disappears or all charges are dropped, it's going to raise some serious eyebrows. They can't hide from the press forever.

If anything, it may cause the feds to go deeper into their investigation.

Obama is going to the game tonight to act like he not involved.

Duke University officials have increased security with the likelihood that former President Barack Obama will attend tonight's game against archrival North Carolina in Durham, a person with knowledge of the situation told USA TODAY Sports.

Sadly, I don't feel like the press is objective enough to pursue the truth in these situations.

EXCLUSIVE:

I tracked down surveillance of the Osundairo's buying supplies before "attack"

Sources say Jussie Smollet told brothers what to buy.

Countless phone calls placed for this.

Visited more stores than I wish to admit. @cbschicago

Does the Chicago PD even have this footage?
