Cook County States Attorney Kim Foxx is facing a difficult re-election campaign and could be out of a job as early as next Tuesday, but she’s still insisting that the “Jussie Smollett issue” was widely overblown and that concern over her office’s special treatment of Smollett — which included a one-time-only “plea deal” that didn’t involve a guilty plea — was and is the result of a “transparency problem.”
Foxx has been underfire from her opponents over the Smollett affair, which saw her office ink a sweetheart deal with the former “Empire” actor, after he was charged with sixteen counts of making false statements to police — false statements connected to an allegedly hoax hate crime that took place early in 2019.
