Investigation into Jussie Smollett case reports ‘substantial abuses of discretion’ by state attorney
but fresh charges were later filed earlier this year, with Smollett maintaining his innocence. Special prosecutor Dan Webb was appointed to examine the state attorney’s handling of Smollett’s case, with his report stating that there were ‘substantial abuses of discretion and operational failures’.According to Deadline, Webb’s report says Cook County state attorney Kim Foxx and her staff ‘demonstrated potential violations of ethics’ in their handling of the case and created ‘false statements’ regarding Smollett’s dismissal.
