"Prominent Hip-Hop Lawyer Pleads Guilty to Leaking Evidence in Fugees Rapper's Case"
Attorney David Kenner, who represented Fugees rapper Pras Michel in a federal conspiracy case, pleaded guilty to leaking grand jury information to reporters and was sentenced to one year of probation. This action led to the publication of articles containing confidential materials. Michel's spokesperson criticized Kenner's actions, stating that they breached ethical lines and cost him dearly. Michel was convicted of money laundering, illegal lobbying, witness tampering, and campaign finance violations in April 2023, with charges tied to his relationship with Malaysian financier Jho Low. His new lawyers are seeking a new trial.
