As she has in the past, Foxx on Monday avoided answering specific questions about the Smollett case and wouldn’t explain what led her to drop the charges against the actor who became famous for his role in the “Empire” television series. Instead, she said could not discuss specifics about the case or her handling of it because it is currently under investigation by Webb. She said she sees her failure as not keeping the public informed on how her office was handling the case.
