Donald Trump Indicted by Federal Grand Jury
Charges Stem from Special Counsel's Investigation
Maximum Sentence of 136 Years Possible
Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges related to the investigation by Special Counsel Jack Smith. The indictment, which was unsealed on Friday, stems from an investigation into Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents.
Trump faces multiple charges, including obstruction of justice and violating the Espionage Act. The indictment alleges that Trump obstructed the investigation by refusing to cooperate with investigators and attempting to conceal evidence. The Espionage Act charges allege that Trump mishandled classified documents by storing them at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida.
If convicted on all charges, Trump could face a maximum sentence of 136 years in prison. However, legal experts believe it is unlikely that Trump will receive such a lengthy sentence. The sentencing guidelines for the charges Trump faces typically result in much shorter sentences.
Trump has denied the charges and has called the investigation a "witch hunt." He has vowed to fight the charges and has vowed to exonerate himself.
