Grammy-winning hip hop musician Pras Michel pocketed $100 million in an effort to bring "secret, illegal foreign influence to bear" on two different presidential administrations, breaking conspiracy laws and tampering with witnesses along the way, prosecutor Nicole Lockhart told jurors Thursday morning.
Michel is standing trial on multiple criminal charges in federal court in Washington, D.C., where 12 jurors will eventually determine his legal fate. Authorities said the case is filled with political intrigue, burner telephones and lies.
