Pras Michel allegedly channelled some of the money he received from Low Taek Jho into Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign.
The 50-year-old Haitian-American faces 12 charges linked to illegal contributions to former president Barack Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign, and a second plan alleging a secret lobbying effort connected to the Donald Trump administration. According to the indictment, Michel channelled some of that money into Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign, concealing the source of the funds via shell companies.“The object of the conspiracy was for Michel and Jho Low to gain access to, and potential influence with, Candidate A and his administration, by secretly funnelling foreign money from Jho Low through Michel,” the indictment said.
