Portions of police video obtained in connection to the Jussie Smollett case have been released, giving a never-before-seen-look into the controversial case.
Some 69 hours of police video were released Monday, with two videos showing the moment when police first arrived at the actor's residence after receiving a 911 call that alleged he was the victim of a hate crime.
Another group of video clips shows the moment when the police apprehend the two brothers who allege they helped Smollett stage the attack.The two men, Smollett initially said, shouted racist and homophobic slurs at him as a rope was wrapped around his neck and an unknown chemical was poured on him. The alleged assailants, police were told, yelled"MAGA country," an apparent reference to President Donald Trump's"Make American Great Again" slogan.
The new release of the video tapes comes days after a judge decided to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the Cook County prosecutor's original decision to dismiss charges against Smollett. The new special prosecutor investigation isn't the only one that will be giving a second look at the case. Two law enforcement sources told ABC News in March that the FBI would be reviewing the case.
