Tina Tchen, the former chief of staff to first lady Michelle Obama, declined Wednesday to be served with a subpoena by a retired Illinois judge seeking the appointment of a special prosecutor in the Jussie Smollett case, according to the process server. WHO IS TINA TCHEN, THE ATTORNEY LINKED TO JUSSIE SMOLLETT MESSAGES? Edward Ryan, who runs the private investigation firm that employs the process server, spoke about the incident with The Chicago Sun-Times. "I don’t know why she’d turn it [the subpoena] down, she’ll be served eventually," Ryan told the paper. Tchen has denied trying to sway the outcome of the Smollett case.
