Illinois State's Attorney to Appoint Special Prosecutor
The Illinois State's Attorney's office will appoint a special prosecutor to investigate and potentially charge alleged abuses by ranking members of the Trump administration. This action is rare under Illinois law, which allows for special prosecutors when a state's attorney has a conflict of interest. Cook County is launching Amnesty Week, which runs through Friday, offering people the chance to pay overdue traffic violations, in full or partial payments, without added fees.
