As police in Chicago continue their investigation of last week’s alleged attack on “Empire” star Jussie Smollett, a Chicago Police Department spokesperson tells Fox News they are withholding some information in order to verify reports from people coming forward. Smollett then said the men beat him and poured an "unknown chemical substance" on him, staining his clothes. The report said that when responding officers arrived, Smollett had a white rope draped around his neck.
