Kim Foxx's New Campaign Ad

Kim Foxx must come clean about the Jussie Smollett case

In a sword-rattling letter dated Thursday, Mark Geragos, an attorney for Fox’s “Empire” actor Jussie Smollett, threatened to “demand the prompt production of the entire investigation file” if the city of Chicago follows through on its threat to sue Smollett for allegedly staging a hate-inspired attack against him Jan. 29 and then lying to police about it.

But forget the demand. Forget waiting for the trigger of a lawsuit. The city and Cook County state’s attorney’s office should, without precondition, immediately open all the case-related files and stop ducking tough questions about what decisions were made and when.

The mystery has deepened and the divisive public controversy has grown steadily since March 26 — when prosecutors abruptly and without notice to the media or police dropped all charges against Smollett in an “emergency” court hearing. -- Watch live at https://www.twitch.tv/werenotsorry
