The two brothers who helped stage the attack, Ola and Abel Osundairo, testified to a grand jury on Wednesday and have been released without charges. According to phone records, Smollett spoke to the brothers on the phone about an hour before the attack and also after the attack.

During the news briefing, Johnson expressed his anger at Smollett for creating this publicity stunt and taking advantage of very real hatred against people and suffering of those people for personal gain.

"How can an individual who's been embraced by the city of Chicago turn around and slap everyone in this city in the face by making these false claims," Johnson said.
