CHICAGO (FOX 32) - Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx has officially recused herself from the Jussie Smollett case, according to Chicago police.
Assistant State’s Attorney Joseph Magats is taking over the case.
"Shortly after the incident occurred in late January, State’s Attorney Foxx had conversations with a family member of Jussie Smollett about the incident and their concerns, and facilitated a connection to the Chicago Police Department who were investigating the incident," a statement from the Cook County State's Attorney's Office read. "Based on those prior conversations and out of an abundance of caution, last week State’s Attorney Foxx decided to remove herself from the decision making in this matter and delegated it to her First Assistant Joseph Magats, a 28-year veteran prosecutor.”
