URGENT: Pras Michel Sentenced to 14 Years for Illicit Campaign Donations.

Breaking News: Pras Michel Sentenced to 14 Years for Illicit Campaign Donations Grammy-winning rapper Prakazrel "Pras" Michel, a member of the 1990s hip-hop group the Fugees, has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for his role in illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign contributions to former President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign. The sentencing took place on Thursday in a Washington, D.C. federal court. Michel, 52, was convicted in April 2023 of 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered agent of a foreign government. The case involved testimony from notable figures, including actor Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The Justice Department had recommended a life sentence under federal sentencing guidelines, citing the severity of the crimes. However, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly handed down a 14-year sentence. This development marks a significant conclusion to the high-profile case, which has been ongoing for several years. The impact of Michel's conviction and sentencing on his fellow Fugees members and the music industry remains to be seen. This is a developing story, and further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
