Mayor's office releases some emails about botched raid

Mayor Lori Lightfoot's office on Wednesday released some - but not all - records related to the botched raid of Anjanette Young's home that confirm Lightfoot was alerted to the search more than a year ago in an email from a staffer who called it "pretty bad."

The emails and other documents released Wednesday are from 2019 and are "not exhaustive or comprehensive of a full review of all emails surrounding the raid on Ms. Young's home," the mayor's press office said in a statement accompanying the release of the documents.

The documents show a flurry of emails within Lightfoot's office about the raid and the release of body camera footage after reporters from CBS2 said they planned to run a story about the raid.
