After being presented in court with an Apple Daily article citing Jimmy Lai as saying he had discussed sanctions with Mike Pompeo, Lai agreed he must have.
Kwan showed Lai an article published by his newspaper Apple Daily, which has since ceased operations, dated July 25, 2019. According to the article, Lai reportedly told Pompeo that the US should sanction leaders in Hong Kong and China for their clampdown on the protests.
“Wait until they know that the bad things they did have consequences,” the report quoted Lai as saying in an online programme hosted by ex-opposition lawmaker Albert Ho. The prosecution also relied on the article as a piece of incriminating evidence.
After reading the article, Lai changed his answer, saying: “If I said this here, I must have discussed it with Pompeo.”
