FEDERAL COURTHOUSE, March 18 – Pras Michel faces trial starting 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.
Michel, formally Prakazrel Michel, has subpoenaed Obama, Bill Clinton, Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie. Eliot Broidy, since pardoned, and ex DOJ attorney George Higginbotham and businesswoman Nickie Lum Davis all pled out in the case. But Pras Michel is going to trial, later this month.
On March 17 Michel's counsel David Kenner updated U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly about service:
"Governor Chris Christie has been served. 2. As of yesterday, President William J. Clinton has been attempted and an individual named 'Chris' has responded to calls saying that 'she is not authorized to accept service for the former president.' It is unclear whether that individual is an attorney.
3. As of yesterday, Rudolph Giuliani has been attempted as well as attempts to serve his attorney who refused to accept service on his behalf.
4. Counsel have been waiting to file this notice because the process server has been in-flight for the past 3-4 hours and will be providing the most updated status to counsel by 5:45PM ET at which point, defense will provide additional updates with respect to former President Clinton and Mr. Giuliani."
