The FBI is reviewing her handling of the case, and the police and another attorney who used to work in her office have asked for a special prosecutor to be appointed.
Via Daily Caller:
An attorney in the Cook County prosecutor’s office allegedly criticized State’s Attorney Kim Foxx over her handling of the Jussie Smollett case and for insinuating that the criticism she’s faced since dropping the charges has to do with her race.
The reported pushback came through an anonymous letter that was published by CWB Chicago on Monday. The criticism in the letter comes a day after Fox claimed race played a role in the criticism she’s faced during her Saturday speech at the Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr.’s Rainbow Push Coalition.
“Blaming Jussie Smollett fallout on race? That is just ignorant and self-serving,” the letter reads. “It is a complete bastardization of a bona fide movement against acts of racism, which, as a society we should obviously not tolerate. Much like Jussie Smollett’s acts bastardized a bona fide movement against hate crimes.”
