Trump's Potential Prison Time for Document Hoarding.

Former President Donald Trump could face significant prison time if convicted of the 37 felony counts he is charged with, including 31 under the Espionage Act statute. The Act carries a maximum sentence of 10 years, but prosecutors have identified multiple aggravating factors in Trump's alleged conduct, including seeking to hide records from investigators and showing them off to visitors. Some of the other counts in the indictment, including conspiracy to obstruct justice, call for up to 20 years in prison. Trump's best defense may be to delay the trial until after the election cycle or try to convince jurors that he should be acquitted even if they believe he broke the law.
