Donald Trump is facing 91 charges across four criminal cases after his indictment in Georgia this week, and the Peach State now presents what may be the most realistic scenario for the former president and 2024 GOP front-runner landing in jail.
The charges among the four cases, two federal and two local, carry a total maximum sentence of more than 700 years in prison and hefty fines.In the two federal cases, the case in Florida related to classified documents and the case in Washington, D.C., related to the 2020 election, Trump could pardon himself if reelected, or another president could pardon him, relieving him of trials and erasing any convictions.
Critics of the case have described it as the weakest of the four criminal cases, in part because it deals with allegations of payments from six and seven years ago, which typically would fall outside the statute of limitations. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, is overseeing the case, and some have speculated she could be sympathetic to the former president. Federal judges also have substantial sentencing discretion, and Trump will have the ability to file appeals wherever permissible.
The case, based in deeply blue Washington, could result in a maximum sentence of 55 years in prison for conspiracy to defraud the United States and conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, among other charges. The indictment, delivered by a grand jury on Monday, was broad, implicating 18 others by name and involving an additional 30 co-conspirators in issues across the state, including those related to voting machines, illegitimate electors, and more.
