Prosecutors say Jussie Smollett detailed his plans for the staged attack with two brothers from Chicago. Prosecutors say he gave them $100 cash to buy supplies including gasoline to pour on him.
Prosecutors say Smollett provided a "back dated" check for $3500 to the brothers.
Prosecutors say at 12:49am (the morning of the reported attack) there's a phone call between the brothers and Smollett to set the time for the attack.
Prosecutors cite the Good Morning American interview where Jussie Smollett indicated he was positive the brothers seen in surveillance video were his attackers.
The morning of the attack while filing the original incident report, prosecutors say Smollett told police he also received a phone call that included a racial slur.
Prosecutors say Jussie Smollett had an 8 minute phone call with one of the brothers after the brothers landed in Istanbul, Turkey after the reported attack.
The brothers were on their way to Nigeria according to police.
