“This letter is written to inform you that this office has received a request by State’s Attorney Kim Foxx to conduct an Office of the Independent Inspector General review of the circumstances surrounding the resolution of criminal charges formerly pending against Jussie Smollett,” Blanchard wrote in the letter, obtained by the Tribune. “As you may recall, the office of the Cook County State’s Attorney has previously objected to the exercise of jurisdiction by this office over the SAO in relation to other unrelated issues. State’s Attorney Foxx has stated that her office will cooperate during the course of this review notwithstanding prior objections to OIIG jurisdiction.
