Lightfoot Acknowledges She Learned About Wrong Raid More Than Year Ago
Although the mayor said she didn't see video until this week, Lightfoot's staff informed her about Anjanette Young's raid in 2019.
CHICAGO (CBS) — Still on the hot seat over the botched raid of Anjanette Young’s home in 2019, Mayor Lori Lightfoot on Thursday acknowledged her staff told her about the case sooner than she previously claimed, and admitted she was wrong about Young filing a Freedom of Information Act request for video footage of the incident.
A day after apologizing to Young for the raid, Lightfoot admitted on Thursday she was wrong when she said one day earlier she was first informed of Young’s case only this week, even though the raid itself happened in February 2019, and CBS 2 first began reporting on her case in November 2019.
