CHICAGO—Chicago’s top prosecutor has released more than 2,000 pages of documents in Jussie Smollett’s case and explained why she had recused herself from an investigation into the “Empire” actor’s claim that he'd been the target of a racist, anti-gay attack: because of false rumors that she was related to him.
The statement on Friday, May 31, (pdf) from Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx comes two months after her office suddenly dropped all charges against Smollett accusing him of staging the January attack on himself.
