About this sermon
In Hong Kong, for the first time, Jimmy Lai has taken the stand in his trial. Lai, a Catholic, was arrested in 2020 for his involvement in a pro-democracy movement. He is accused of operating with foreign forces to conspire against the government, part of the Beijing-backed National Security Law. The trial is being talked about in China and in the US on Capitol Hill. Bill McGurn with the Wall Street Journal and also a godfather to Jimmy Lai, joins to tell us what happened and what the new developments were. The trial hinges upon accusations against Lai saying he conspired with foreign agents, including former Vice President Mike Pence and former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. McGurn shares what kind of evidence the government has against Lai. President-elect Donald Trump has mentioned his plans to free Lai. McGurn discusses whether he thinks Trump will be able to and whether he thinks Hong Kong will try to get a verdict before Trump takes office. He fills us in on what's next. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
