President Donald Trump could be sentenced to 400 years in prison if the Department of Justice convicts him on all charges and the maximum sentences are imposed.
Trump was charged with 37 counts, and co-defendant Waltine Nauta was sentenced to six counts.
Below are the charges:
Counts 1-31, for “Willful Retention of National Defense Information” under 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), carry a maximum sentence of ten years for each charge.
Count 32, for “Conspiracy to Obstruct Justice” under 18 U.S.C. § 1512 (k), makes Trump and Nauta liable for the same penalties that each would receive for their alleged crimes as part of the alleged conspiracy, in this case up to 20 years.
Count 33, for “Withholding a Document or Record” under 18 U.S.C § 1512 (b) (2) (A) (and also § 2, making Trump a “principal” for allegedly causing the act alleged to have been committed by Waltine Nauta), carries a sentence of up to 20 years.
Count 34, for “Corruptly Concealing a Document or Record” under 18 U.S.C. § 1512 (c) (1) (and also § 2), carries a sentence of up to 20 years.
Count 35, for “Concealing a Document in a Federal Investigation” under 18 U.S.C § 1519 (and also § 2), carries a sentence of up to 20 years.
Count 36, for “Conspiracy to Conceal” under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (a) (2) (and also § 2), carries a sentence of up to five years.
Count 37, for “False Statements and Representations” under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (a) (2) (and also § 2), carries a sentence of up to five years.
Count 38, for “False Statements and Representations” under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (a) (2), carries a sentence of up to five years.
Trump also faces counts 1 through 37; Nauta faces counts 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, and 38, which means he could face a 400-year sentence.
Nauta faces a potential sentence of 90 years
However, it is more likely each would face a sentence of up to five years on lesser charges or up to 20 years on the greater charges.
But all these political attacks against Trump will likely propel him to the White House.
As former New York GOP Rep Lee Zeldin predicted, Trump will likely become the 47th president following Thursday’s indictment.
“The greatest irony about the justice system being weaponized to take down a political opponent is that. As a result, the odds this evening have only gone up that the 45th President of the United States will be elected as the 47th President of the United States,” Zeldin tweeted on Trump.
