How much prison time could Donald Trump face? Past cases brought steep punishment for document hoarders

  • Harold Martin, a former National Security Agency contractor, pleaded guilty to willful retention of national defense information and was sentenced to nine years in prison. This could serve as a guidepost for the potential legal consequences former President Donald Trump could face as he confronts 37 felony counts, including 31 under the Espionage Act statute, for allegedly illegally retaining classified documents.
  • The punishment for the Espionage Act offense is up to 10 years in prison, but Trump could face additional penalties for other counts in the indictment, including conspiracy to obstruct justice which call for up to 20 years in prison.
