Chicago Attorney Kim Foxx Summons to Appear in Jussie Smollett Case – Deadline

Chicago prosecutor Kim Foxx has been summoned to appear in the saga known as the Jussie Smollett affair. Foxx was summoned to court by retired Appeal Judge Sheila O'Brien, who explained how she handled her case Empire actor.

In addition to filing a petition for a special attorney, O'Brien as well as FoxX MP Joseph Magats, and a document allowing Smollett to appear at the hearing, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

Foxx was the target of gunfire when his office was announced that he was abandoning lawsuits against Smollett, who allegedly organized a racist and anti-gay attack against himself in downtown Chicago. She has since defended her decision and is open to an independent investigation.

The news follows a series of Smollett titles that have recently made the Internet happy. Donald Trump recently called Smollett "shameful for our nation" on Saturday night at a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin. She also intervenes after an episode of Empire which may or may not be Smollett's last appearance on the Fox musical drama. Smollett's character, Jamal, has been writing about the last two episodes of Season 5. His future in the series has not yet been determined.
