Mimi Rocah, who was a federal prosecutor in the Southern District of New York, questioned President Donald Trump's sudden faith in the FBI.
A former federal prosecutor zinged President Donald Trump for his tweet about an apparent review by the FBI and Department of Justice over the Jussie Smollett case.
The president has also attacked the FBI’s handling of the investigation into his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server for official business, including sending classified material. The attorney general also noted that Mueller did not exonerate Trump on charges of obstruction of justice related to the investigation, such as by firing Comey. But Mueller also did not conclude that the president committed a crime.
After an investigation into the alleged attack by Chicago city police, and the arrest of two brothers allegedly behind the attack, officers accused Smollett of paying the men to attack him in a setup to advance his public profile and career. But the decision angered Chicago City Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Chicago Police Superintendent Eddie Johnson, who have both fiercely criticized Smollett over the incident, and believe justice has not been served in this case.
