Former Fugees rapper Pras Michel on trial for global influence-peddling scheme.
Grammy-winning hip hop musician Pras Michel is standing trial on multiple criminal charges in federal court in Washington, D.C. Prosecutors allege that Michel pocketed $100 million to bring "secret, illegal foreign influence to bear" on two different presidential administrations, breaking conspiracy laws and tampering with witnesses along the way. Michel is accused of being at the center of two separate streams of illegal conduct tied to the billionaire Jho Low, who's been accused of stealing $4 billion from a Malaysian sovereign wealth fund. The trial is expected to last four to six weeks.
