FEDERAL COURTHOUSE, April 19 – Pras Michel's trial started with jury selection on March 27 on charges of working for Jho Low to lobby the Obama then Trump administrations.

He also met with China about Guo Wengui / Miles Kwok, detained last week along with his chief of staff Yvette Wang on fraud charges - Inner City Press story here, stand-up here. Jho Low book here. 

  On March 24, the business day before the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia trial, Michel's lawyers put in a supplemental witness list including... Steve Bannon. List on Patreon here.  Pras Guo for Jho Low trial song here.

On the eve of jury selection, Michel filed his list of 216 exhibits, including "77 Elliot Broidy WhatsApp Message, Interview of Steve Wynn 8/31/2020; Proffer of Prakazrel “Pras” Michel; Email Pollack to Pras re: pre-indictment resolution." Full list on Patreon here.

  Inner City Press live tweeted the Michel trial opening, and first witnesses. On Sunday April 9 Michel filed this: "the defense requests that the prosecution grant statutory immunity to Mr. White or, in the alternative, agree to dismiss the election law counts against Mr. Michel if the denial of statutory immunity is more important to the government than getting a conviction on the election law counts" Filing on Patreon here.

On April 18, first Jeff Sessions (whom the CCP wanted to lobby to extradite Miles Guo Wengui) then Pras Michel himself took the stand. Michel claimed that the Jho Low funds were for a photo with Obama, not campaign contributions. He admitted his work on trying to get Miles Guo Wengui extradited - while Sessions said he could not remember Guo’s name "had it not been refreshed to me."
