Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx changed her explanation on Friday for her recusal from the Jussie Smollett case, as her office released more than 2,000 pages of documents on the case.
Foxx said she was advised to withdraw from the case based on unfounded rumors that she was related to the "Empire" actor, who was accused of faking a hate crime against himself. That explanation conflicts with the statement her office gave in February, which said she stepped aside due to conversations she had with a Smollett relative about the investigation.

In her statement on Friday, Foxx said the decision was based on a false rumor — not on her own actions — and that she agreed to personally step aside due to the perception of a conflict.
Text messages released on Friday appear to show that Foxx disagreed with the decision, and considered the rumors to be "racist."

Among the documents released on Friday evening were numerous messages between Foxx and other prosecutors and staff, in which the recusal was discussed. In one of the messages, Foxx appears to tell her chief of staff, Jennifer Ballard Croft, that the Feb. 19 statement on her recusal was "bulls--."
She told Croft that she stepped aside at the urging of April Perry, her chief ethics officer, and that the statement about the recusal was approved by Kiera Ellis, her spokeswoman. Both women have since resigned from the office.
"April told me I had to do it," Foxx wrote in the text. "There were rumors she claims that I was related to or closely connected to the Smolletts. I told her that wasn't true. She said it was pervasive among CPD and that I should recuse. I thought it was dumb but acquiesced. It's actually just racist."

The word “racist” no longer has any meaning at all

The common relative is said to be Akusena Sekaret of the Bamboosel tribe of Ivory coast/ Senegal
Sounds like Little Mizz White Gurl Hair is lying.
She needs to resign and collect her $100,000 pension. The she could get her real payoff, a million dollar figurehead for some Obama sponsored race hustling racket.
Who would have expected that./s
Excusal of the recusal...
The blind leading the halt and lame, is how my mother used to put it. Handicap piled upon handicap, and none of it being used to anybody’s advantage.
Affirmative action is one of the great social ills foisted upon the world, along with virtually all the “politically correct” crapola.
What is the matter with white girl’s head!
They are both LIARS and have a problem telling the truth.
It's the Chicago way.
Foxx's two advisors resigned over this? She's the one who should step down.
Who can trust a word she says from now on?
A-n-o-t-h-e-r legacy of the Halfrican halfwit.
I want the Michelle Obama and Kamala Harris connections to be exposed.
Did she actually recuse herself formally?
Their involvement has already been mentioned in some press reports but what was the quid pro quo to make Foxx do something stupid like dropping all 16 charges?
More going on here than what first appears.
I agree. Get it out in the open. This favoritism to political cronies has got to stop.
My guess, and it’s just a guess, but the hoax was perpetrated to bolster support for Harris’ anti-lynching legislation.
Because Smollet was put up to it by at least Harris and he followed through with it, Michelle Obama was called to get Smollet off once the fraud was uncovered.

Probably his best and only accomplishment.
Like I said, let's air this whole mess out in the sunshine where everyone can see who the real bad players are.
MICHELLE OBAMA
Watta a way to go....BOL.
Ah.....let me guess.....let me guess...
Because justice no longer exists ?
Well the good news is, we can no longer obstruct it.
Wooohooo.
