Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot said Thursday that her staff informed her in November 2019 about a botched police raid that happened nine months earlier – thus revising her office’s Tuesday claim that she hadn’t learned about the February 2019 raid until this week. The mayor pledged to make all the relevant emails available to the public, the Chicago Sun Times reported. Lightfoot added Thursday that she was mistaken Wednesday when she claimed Young hadn’t filed a Freedom of Information Act request for police video footage from the raid, when Young actually had done so. The mayor also said she apologized to a local reporter whom she had called "reckless and irresponsible" for asking her why the FOIA request had been denied, WBBM reported.
