Call From Jussie Smollett’s Lawyers Postponed Two Former Suspects’ Grand Jury Testimony

Two men once considered potential suspects in the alleged attack on “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett were moments away from testifying to a Cook County grand jury, before a last-minute phone call from Smollett’s defense team convinced prosecutors to postpone the testimony.

CBS 2’s Charlie De Mar has learned the brothers were waiting outside the grand jury chambers at the Leighton Criminal Courthouse on Tuesday, just minutes from testifying, when the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office got a call from Smollett’s lawyers, claiming they may have new evidence.

Trump on firing spy chief Dan Coats: 'I haven't even thought about it'

President Trump on Wednesday denied that he’s considering replacing Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats, after reports said the spy chief could be ousted soon.

“I haven’t even thought about it,” Trump told reporters at the White House on Wednesday when asked about Coats' future.

Trump reportedly became frustrated with Coats after he distanced himself from the president’s comments about North Korea giving up its nuclear weapons. Coats told Congress last month that he does not believe the hermit kingdom will ever end its nuclear weapons program.
