Chicago Police Call For State's Attorney's Resignation After Smollett Charges Dropped

Description

According to Reuters, Chicago police officers on Monday called for Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to resign after her office dropped felony charges against actor Jussie Smollett last week. About 300 people, including off-duty Chicago police officers, gathered in front of Foxx’s office wearing “Foxx Must Go!” buttons and carrying signs reading “Resign now." Smollett was charged in February with staging a hate crime against himself and filing a false police report. Prosecutors dropped all charges against Smollett on Tuesday without informing police of the decision ahead of time. Before charges were filed against Smollett, Foxx recused herself from the case because of conversations she had about the incident with one of Smollett’s relatives.

  • Can Trump Pardon Himself? Would It Matter If He Did?

    Having grudgingly green-lit the peaceful transfer of power, President Donald Trump is now perfectly poised to proceed with a parade of pardons. Trump has already commuted the sentence of his informal adviser Roger Stone. But what about Trump's former campaign chairman, Paul Manafort, who is still in home confinement serving out his prison sentence? Even more to the point, what about Trump himself? Trump has repeatedly asked aides about pardons for himself and his family members--and whether he could issue them preemptively. CNN reports the question of self-pardoning may be moot. If Trump faces any criminal charges, they'll be at the state level, not federal. US Presidents are not immune from any state charges.
