Attorneys for Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot reportedly admitted in a court filing that her office had put a racially discriminatory interview policy in place for two days.

Lightfoot is facing a civil rights lawsuit by the Daily Caller News Foundation (DCNF) and Judicial Watch for denying an interview request from DCNF reporter Thomas Catenacci, who is white, after the Democratic mayor declared she was granting in-person interviews only to non-white journalists.
