Chicago Tribune is reporting it but they're behind a pay wall. An actual notable thing with this case occurred: the state attorney who reused herself did so because she tried to get the state to drop the investigation and hand it over to the FBI for whatever reason. Tina Tchen, a former chief of staff of Michelle Obama, was the one who reached out to the state attorney to ask her to do so.
