Fugees’ Pras Michel May Get Pardoned By Donald Trump
Fugees’ Pras Michel, a founding member of the iconic hip-hop group, may be getting a surprise pardon from President Donald Trump. According to reports, Michel is among the list of individuals who are being considered for a presidential pardon before Trump leaves office.
Michel, whose real name is Prakazrel Samuels Michel, was convicted of wire fraud and conspiracy in 2008 and served nearly two years in prison. He was accused of using a $2.1 million loan to fund a fraudulent scheme involving the sale of Haitian aid. Michel has maintained his innocence throughout the ordeal and has claimed that he was a victim of a government sting operation.
It is unclear what specific circumstances led to Michel’s inclusion on the list of potential pardon recipients, but his supporters have been vocal about his plight and have been advocating for his release. If granted a pardon, Michel would be one of the most high-profile individuals to receive a presidential pardon in recent years.
