WASHINGTON (AP): A Fugees rapper on trial in a multimillion-dollar campaign finance and foreign influence case was trying to reinvent himself as he entered the political arena, not break any laws, defence attorneys said on Monday (April 17).
Prakazrel"Pras” Michel became a best-selling, Grammy-winning artist with the 1990s hip-hop group the Fugees, but in the years after its breakup was looking for his next chapter, attorney David Kenner said as he began making the defence case.
He’s also accused of trying to squelch an investigation into the businessman and persuade then-president Donald Trump’s administration to return to China a"vocal critic of the government.” When Michel first met Low at a nightclub in 2006, the businessman"appeared and acted as though he had unlimited amounts of money,” Kenner said.
