Washington, DC, July 21, 2020 - Global investment firm The Carlyle Group (NASDAQ: CG) today announced that Glenn Youngkin has decided to step down as co-CEO of The Carlyle Group and the Board of Directors has appointed Kewsong Lee, who has served as co-CEO with Glenn, as the firm's chief executive officer.
Glenn will step down as co-CEO and retire from the firm on September 30, 2020 and will work with the rest of management to transition his responsibilities over his remaining tenure.
Kewsong Lee has been co-CEO alongside Glenn since 2018. Before that, he served as Deputy Chief Investment Officer for the firm's Corporate Private Equity segment and Head of the Global Credit segment.
Glenn Youngkin said, "It has been the professional journey of a lifetime and my honor to be part of building Carlyle into the global institution it is today, and to serve the last few years as co-CEO alongside an enormously talented partner like Kew. The Carlyle team has built great momentum, has a strong culture of collaboration, and has created long-term value for companies, communities and shareholders. I also want to thank Carlyle's visionary founders for their guidance and trust. I remain humbled to have been able to lead Carlyle with Kew."
Mr. Youngkin continued, "As the world continues to face so many challenges today, and as Carlyle is well-positioned, now is a natural point to focus my full-time efforts on community and public service efforts that I believe can make a meaningful impact."
Kewsong Lee said, "I am very thankful to Glenn for his 25 years of service to Carlyle and especially grateful for his friendship and partnership as co-CEO. Over the past few years, Carlyle has reached many key milestones around our most important priorities and our focus will continue to be on delivering for our investors and emphasizing shareholder friendly actions. Glenn has helped to lead in these areas, and having worked closely with him, I know he will have a tremendous impact on the issues he chooses to make the focus of his talents and energy in his next chapter."
Carlyle Co-Founder and Co-Executive Chairman David Rubenstein said, "I recruited Glenn to Carlyle a quarter century ago, and have been pleased to see him grow into an exceptional private equity professional. He did an outstanding job as co-CEO, but I certainly understand the pull of the kind of public service activities to which Glenn is committed. We are fortunate that Kew is extremely well positioned to serve as our CEO, and I look forward to continuing to work closely with him on behalf of all of Carlyle's stakeholders."
Carlyle Co-Founder and Co-Executive Chairman Bill Conway said, "Glenn has played a critical role over the last 25 years in building Carlyle into the world-class investment firm it is today.

It turns out, Ms Harris happens to also be close with that prosecutor - Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx, whose office was behind the decision to drop the charges against Smollett.

In a January 22 tweet, she described the Senator - who co-chaired Ms Foxx's transition committee after being elected to the office in 2016 - as her inspiration and noted she had "continued to mentor me as I work to reform the criminal justice system in Cook County".
During the bizarre twists and turns of the case, Ms Foxx was contacted by Tina Tchen, a former assistant to President Barack Obama and chief of staff to Michelle Obama.

In an email, Ms Tchen told Ms Foxx she was getting in touch "on behalf of Jussie Smollett and family who I know", saying "they have concerns about the investigation".

After the contacts came to light, Ms Foxx claimed she was "recusing" herself from the case.

While maintaining she had no role in recommending the charges be dropped, her office was later forced to admit she had not actually recused in a legal sense, which would require the appointment of an outside prosecutor.

"The state's attorney did not formally recuse herself or the office based on any actual conflict of interest," her spokeswoman told The Chicago Tribune. "As a result, she did not have to seek the appointment of a special prosecutor under (state law)."

Ms Foxx's handling of the Smollett case has been a major issue in her re-election campaign as Chicago's chief prosecutor.

In March she beat her main Democratic rival in the party primary, paving her way to a likely win when she faces a Republican opponent in the countywide election in November.
The New York Times described the primary battle as "largely a referendum" on how her office handled the case, with her closest Democratic rival, former prosecutor Bill Conway, accusing her in one commercial of having "rigged the rules for connected celebrities".

More recently she has been criticised for being too soft on violent crime. City councilman Anthony Napolitano this week called for Ms Foxx to resign after thousands of looters descended on downtown Chicago on Monday causing millions of dollars in damage.

"They looted and rioted in the city and CPD, the Chicago Police Department, locked up the criminals, (but) our state's attorney let them go," Mr Napolitano, who variously identifies as independent or Republican, told Fox News.

"We average over 500 murders a year, over 2800 shootings per year and our state's attorney just got credit for letting over 25,000 felony offenders go … If people don't stand up and make a stand right now, draw a line in the sand and get rid of the state's attorney, this is going to get worse in the greatest city in the country."

In February, Ms Harris formally endorsed Ms Foxx's bid for re-election, describing her as a "national model" for criminal justice reform, the Chicago Sun Times reported.

"State's Attorney Foxx, in spite of swimming against the current of a system that is still slow to change, has brought bold and historical change to the Cook County Criminal Justice system," Ms Harris said in a statement.

"(Ms Foxx is) righting the wrongs of the failed war on drugs in expunging low-level marijuana convictions, leading the nation in exonerating the wrongfully convicted, and reducing mass incarceration by prosecuting on violent crimes instead of over-criminalising nonviolent low-level offences."

Ms Harris did not mention the Smollett controversy.

After California Senator was announced as the VP nominee last week, Ms Foxx said she was "thrilled".

"Her leadership and guidance have been a source of inspiration," she wrote on Twitter. "It's been an honour to have her in my corner for the last four years, and I'm so excited to see her continue to shape the nation #ForThePeople."

Soros Spends Big to Help Prosecutor Who Dropped Jussie Smollett Charges

George Soros and other liberal Billionaires are pushing large sums of cash into Chicago to back the far-left prosecutor whose office dropped charges against Jussie Smollett, the actor who staged a "hate crime" he attributed to Trump supporters. The reelection efforts of Kim Foxx, state's attorney for Cook County, Ill., received a boost from the Illinois Justice & Public Safety PAC. The committee, founded to support Foxx, has spent six figures on media productions and direct mail backing Foxx's candidacy, state records show, making it Foxx's largest backer so far. The PAC received its entire $2 million budget from a group created and funded by Soros.

Soros has for years poured millions into district attorney and prosecutor races across the country backing candidates who want to radically overhaul the criminal justice system. The candidates often campaign on reducing incarceration rates by bringing lower-level charges for higher-level offenses. One such Soros-backed district attorney, Larry Krasner of Philadelphia, purged dozens of prosecutors primarily from the homicide division, drug enforcement, and civil asset forfeiture units within days of taking office. Foxx, who received $408,000 from Soros during her first election in 2016, set off widespread criticism for her office's handling of the Smollett case. The actor claimed he was attacked by two white masked individuals in the streets of Chicago who yelled "This is MAGA country," tied a rope around his neck, and doused him in bleach. The story quickly unraveled after evidence emerged that Smollett hired two men to fake the attack. Foxx's office dropped the charges against him. Following a special prosecutor's probe into Foxx's handling of the Smollett case, a grand jury indicted Smollett on six counts of disorderly conduct in relation to making false reports to the Chicago Police Department. Soros has renewed his support for Foxx in the wake of the Smollett controversy. On Feb. 19, the Democracy PAC, a federal super PAC Soros created for the 2020 elections, deposited $2 million into the coffers of the Illinois Justice & Public Safety PAC. That contribution is the pro-Foxx PAC's sole source of funding. Soros put $5.1 million into the Democracy PAC in the first half of 2019. Other deep-pocketed liberal donors and progressive groups have cut hefty checks to keep Foxx in office.

Donald Sussman, a Billionaire hedge fund manager and major Democratic donor, has given $100,000 to Foxx's campaign. Fred Eychaner, chairman of Newsweb Corporation, has provided $600,000. Michael Sacks, CEO of the Chicago-based Grosvenor Capital Management, gave $400,000. EMILY's List, the SEIU, and the Real Justice PAC, a committee run by Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King, each sent hefty donations to Foxx's campaign. Unlike past prosecutor races in which Soros gave his preferred candidate a staggering fundraising advantage, the field has been level in the Chicago race. Bill Conway, one of Foxx's Democratic primary challengers, has been fueled by millions from his wealthy father. The primary will take place on March 17. Whitney Tymas, longtime treasurer for Soros's criminal justice PACs, and Sacks did not respond to inquiries. Sussman and Eychaner could not be reached for comment.

Another Billionaire weighs in on state's attorney's race: George Soros gives $2M to group backing Foxx

Soros, worth an estimated $8.3 Billion according to Forbes, is not the first Billionaire to lay down money in the race. Conway's campaign coffers have been bolstered by donations from his dad.

A political action committee founded by liberal Billionaire philanthropist - and Donald Trump nemesis - George Soros kicked $2 million to a committee supporting Cook County State's Attorney Kim Foxx in her re-election bid against three Democratic primary challengers.

A mega donor to Democrats and liberal causes, the hedge fund operator's Democracy PAC transferred $2 million into the Illinois Justice and Public Safety PAC on Wednesday.

The justice and public safety PAC has so far spent $571,359.30 on mail, media and website production costs opposing Bill Conway, one of Foxx's primary challengers.

Soros, worth an estimated $8.3 Billion according to Forbes, is not the first Billionaire to lay down money in the race.

Conway's campaign coffers have been bolstered by donations from his dad, William E. Conway Jr., one of the founders of the private equity firm the Carlyle Group. More than 88% of the challenger's total warchest came from his dad, the Sun-Times found last month.

The senior Conway has a net worth of $3.5 Billion, according to Forbes.

A spokeswoman for Foxx said the campaign is "not coordinating with anyone related to Soros" or with the justice and public safety committee.

That committee, which also says its goal is to oppose Conway, was created by Whitney Tymas, who also created a 2016 committee called Illinois Safety and Justice, according to a Crain's report on the committee.

Soros, 89, is the founder of Soros Fund Management LLC. He's donated more than $32 Billion to his Open Society Foundations, which funds democracy and human rights projects in more than 100 nations, according to his web site.

Soros was a big Hillary Clinton backer and has called Trump "a conman and the ultimate narcissist" and said his "politics are a malignant disease."

He's also a favorite target of Republicans and the far right. Trump supporters frequently try to tie Soros to a variety of conspiracies.

Besides Foxx and Bill Conway, Democrats running for state's attorney include former Ald. Bob Fioretti and former prosecutor Donna More. Two Republicans are also running: Pat O'Brien, a former Cook County circuit judge, and Christopher Pfannkuche, who ran against Foxx in 2016.
