Cook County, Illinois State’s Attorney Kim Foxx prevailed in Tuesday’s Democratic primary, where she faced several challengers who had focused on the controversy surrounding her handling of the Jussie Smollett case. JUSSIE SMOLLETT'S BID TO GET CHARGES THROWN OUT REJECTED BY ILLINOIS SUPREME COURT“This win is about all of us. The three Democrats who challenged Foxx made her handling of the Jussie Smollett case -- which is now before a special prosecutor-- central to the campaign. A special prosecutor reinstated the charges, which Foxx called political. In the GOP primary, Patrick O’Brien, a former assistant state’s attorney, defeated Christopher Pfannkuche, a prosecutor who has worked for several different agencies including the state’s attorney office.
