After being approached by a politically connected lawyer, States Attorney Kimberly Foxx asked Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson to turn over the investigation of Jussie Smolletts reported attack to the FBI, according to communications provided to the Tribune.
Foxx reached out to Johnson after Tina Tchen, former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, texted Foxx saying the actors family had unspecified concerns about the investigation. Tchen, a close friend of Mayor Rahm Emanuels wife, said she was acting on behalf of the Empire actor and his family.

He’s speshual.
It’s good to have connections.
So when Trump does its a high crime and obstruction of justice - when a Democrat does it, in a documented case of political interference, its merely unethical or she was being heroic.
Say what? It’s not a federal crime to make a false report to the Chicago police. That’s a local LE matter.
Privilege - thy name is Smollett Obama Foxx and Friends
I’m sure the FBI will get right on this one...
And considering its outside their jurisdiction means nothing to the FBI.
Coverup is the only thing they seem to do really well.
Kim Foxx is a worthless POS with a reputation for avoiding prosecution, especially in cases involving perps in particular demographic groups. She is routinely slammed in the “Second City Cop” blog for her casual approach to her prosecutorial duties.
Federal jurisdiction can be bootstrapped if Smollet used any wire service to advance his fraud, including the Intarweb.
Tells us who the FBI still really works for.
Somehow, one just knew.
Mueller wants to use it against Trump.
But it is a Federal Crime when someone sends a (HOAX) Hate Letter full of White Powder through the U.S. Post Office.
The FBI has become the Democrat’s fixers. Wow. Where Demo cases go to die.
Is this more proof the FBI is owned and controlled by the corrupt far left. Methinks so.
The purpose of transferring the investigation to the Feds is so the DNC can sink the investigation, drag it out, “can’t comment on an ongoing investigation” etc.
Dont you know there are two set of rules, one for the commie left and one for the rest of us..the rest of us go to jail, the commie left sip champagne and party
The FBI was called in due to federal hate crime laws. And I'm sure sure federal postal investigators were called in because the mail was used to deliver that letter a week earlier. Plenty of of reasons for the feds to be involved because this was much more than just filing a false police report. That's just one of the numerous charges.
Yes it is! I hope the feds are investigating the postal crimes angle.
So, someone in the Obama coven trusts the FBI more than the Chicago PD.
