Billionaire financier George Soros and other wealthy liberal donors spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to help elect Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx in 2016, but she is just one of nearly two dozen local prosecutors backed by Soros in recent years.
Foxx, the top law enforcement official in Chicago, is currently under intense scrutiny because of a decision to drop all charges against actor Jussie Smollett on March 26. The “Empire” star was indicted on 16 felony counts last week stemming from an alleged fake hate crime and the filing of a false police report.
