About this sermon
According to a former associate publisher at Apple Daily, the founder, Catholic Jimmy Lai, ran a campaign in the paper to rally support from then US President Donald Trump, a month before the National Security Law was passed in Hong Kong, despite objections that it was "not very appropriate". Lai faces 2 counts of colluding with foreign forces and another count of conspiracy to print or distribute so-called seditious materials. The 76 year old has pleaded not guilty. Columnist for the Wall Street Journal and godfather to Jimmy Lai, Bill McGurn, joins to share what the main takeaways are from the trial and what people should know. Jimmy has already spent over one thousand days in custody and the trial only began in December. McGurn tells us how much longer he thinks this will go on and how likely it is that he will get a fair trial. He fills us in on how Lai is doing now and how he thinks his Catholic faith is getting him through all of this. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
