Former U.S. attorney Dan Webb was named on Friday morning special prosecutor overseeing the investigation into the handling of the Jussie Smollett case 
A witness to the encounter between a black Georgia legislator and a man she accused of telling her to "go back" where she came from told police it was actually the legislator who used that language. 
In the video from ABC 7 Chicago, Smollett, whose face is blurred, is seen still wearing the rope he claimed his assailants put around his neck. He is heard telling the officers that there is bleach on him. 
An Illinois judge assigned a special prosecutor to investigate the alleged hate crime hoax carried out by Empire star Jussie Smollett and the handling of the case by the state's attorney's office. News that Chicago police charged Jussie Smollett with staging a brutal attack on himself was covered on every network and in every major newspaper, but Google is hiding searches of it from its platform due to concerns of "potentially disparaging" the liberal actor. The charges against Jussie Smollett have been dismissed, but in a shocking new development, it also turns out the Chicago police bribed the brothers who alleged he faked the hate crime to begin with!
