CHICAGO - The special prosecutor appointed to look into why the state's attorney's office in Chicago abruptly dropped the case against "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett allegedly staging an attack on himself acknowledged Monday that he donated to the top prosecutor's campaign and that his law firm co-hosted a 2016 fundraiser for her.
In a document filed in Cook County Circuit Court, Dan K. Webb says he doesn't recall writing a $1,000 check to State's Attorney Kim Foxx's campaign. The Chicago Tribune reports he also says he doesn't remember attending the fundraiser thrown by his high-powered firm, Winston & Strawn.
Included with Webb's filing was a copy of the flyer touting the fundraiser. The invitation notes lawyers in the firm including Webb, a Republican, supported Foxx, a Democrat, in her campaign for state's attorney.

UNREAL.
The more you learn this whole case stinks. A supposed actor trying to get more media attention and fame by inventing an attack for more 15 min of attention. The whole case being dropped when the fake actor hired people to do make it look like assault, then they turned on him and told the truth, and still the case was dropped now the prosecutor to have donated to a campaign and no memory of things this prosecutor did. Definitely more people in on the scam and the whole cover up when caught.
Let's have justice instead of the lies and obstruction.
