Smollett case could complicate reelection of top prosecutor

Smollett case could complicate reelection of top prosecutorThe decision to restore charges against Jussie Smollett could bedevil the reelection bid of the first black woman to hold Chicago's top law enforcement job and potentially alter the trajectory of a prosecutor once seen as a rising star in Illinois politics. The charges drew a stinging public response from Kim Foxx, who quickly raised the specter of a conspiracy against her. Foxx's statement was also an acknowledgement that the renewed case accusing Smollett of staging a racist, anti-gay attack on himself could undermine her quest for a second term as Cook County state's attorney.
