Benzinga - Former President Donald Trump faces indictments as part of special counsel Jack Smith's probe into classified documents.

According to Trump's attorney Jim Trusty, the former president is currently facing multiple charges, including violating the Espionage Act, obstructing justice, destroying or falsifying records, engaging in conspiracy, and making false statements.

With the indictment, Trump could potentially face an extensive prison sentence spanning hundreds of years, accompanied by substantial fines reaching millions of dollars.
