Ex-Fugees rapper Pras Michel was found guilty in federal court on Wednesday (April 26th) on 10 criminal counts that range from conspiracy to failure to register as an agent of China.

In a complicated case that covers over a decade, Pras, who’s real name is Prakazrel Michel, was accused of trying to help Malaysian businessman Jho Low and the Chinese government gain access to the highest chambers of the United States government, including two former presidents — Barack Obama and Donald Trump.

At the center of the trial was payments Michel received from Low. In testimony that occurred last week, Michael said Low paid him $20 million in 2012 in order to get a picture of himself with Obama. Prosecutors claim that $800,000 of that money was then funneled to Obama’s campaign through straw donors.
