Jeff Sessions Reveals High-Level Deportation Talks During Hip Hop Artist's Trial.

Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions testified in federal court during the trial of hip hop artist Pras Michel, who is accused of violating campaign finance laws, laundering money, and participating in an unregistered foreign lobbying scheme. Sessions detailed high-level meetings where officials discussed the potential deportation of Guo Wengui, a dissident Chinese businessperson living in the U.S. Michel allegedly attempted to persuade senior Trump administration officials like Sessions to deport Guo in exchange for the release of U.S. citizens and residents being detained in China. Sessions declined to meet with a Chinese security official who proposed the deportation, and the proposal never proceeded on his watch.
