Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot admitted Thursday she was previously notified about a botched February 2019 police raid, despite saying Wednesday that she was “blindsided” by a report on the raid, in which a team of male Chicago Police officers stormed the wrong house and handcuffed an innocent naked woman.
Lightfoot admitted on Thursday that her staff had told her about the raid back in November 2019, when media first reported on it. She insisted that she hadn’t watched the video and didn’t recall the staff’s briefing about the case, according to Chicago’s WBBM-TV, the first TV station that aired the video.
