FILE - In this Feb. 22, 2019 file photo, Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx speaks at a news conference, in Chicago. A special prosecutor in Chicago says Foxx and her office abused their discretion in the case against actor Jussie Smollett but did nothing criminal. The last Republican Cook County states attorney was Jack OMalley, who was defeated by Democrat Dick Devine in 1996. Even before the special prosecutors findings were released Monday, the GOP candidate for Cook County states attorney, former county Judge Pat OBrien, already sought to make Smollett a campaign issue. But it added it categorically rejects characterizations of its exercises of prosecutorial discretion and private or public statements as abuses of discretion or false statements to the public.
