Jesse Jackson Jr. is still trying to subpoena Garry McCarthy in heated divorce
Former congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. is still trying to subpoena former Chicago Police Department superintendent Garry McCarthy in his heated divorce from former alderman Sandi Jackson. Jackson Jr.’s legal team filed papers in a Washington, D.C., court asking that McCarthy, his former business partner Richard Simon, and former CPD officer James Love give depositions, according to the Tribune. The three men “have been identified as persons having knowledge of the circumstances that led to the estrangement of the parties, financial issues raised and allegations made in this matter,” the court papers say.
