Fugees rapper Pras Michel convicted in political conspiracy case.

Fugees rapper Pras Michel has been found guilty of conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government in a multimillion-dollar political conspiracy case spanning two presidencies. Michel was accused of funneling money from a now-fugitive Malaysian financer through straw donors to Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, then trying to squelch a Justice Department investigation and influence an extradition case on behalf of China under the Trump administration. Michel plans to appeal the verdict.
