Could Trump Face Prison Time For Allegedly Violating 'Espionage Act?'

The FBI search warrant of former President Donald Trump's Florida home authorized confiscation of every record he ever saw, read or created during his four years as commander-in-chief, right down to scribbles on a napkin.

Democrats are asking for a damage assessment from the intelligence community on the 11 sets of classified documents recovered in the raid, including one marked "SCI", a classification for some of the most sensitive national security information that is normally viewed in a highly secured location.

A lawyer for Trump signed a statement in June after a visit by the FBI saying that all classified documents at Mar-a-Lago had been turned over to federal investigators. 

"Some of those documents were marked top secret, sensitive compartmented information," U.S. Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) said. "That is among the highest designation in terms of the extremely grave damage to national security that could be done if it was disclosed."

The warrant also shows agents were looking for evidence of three potential crimes, including obstruction of justice and violations of the Espionage Act.

Violating the Espionage Act carries a sentence of 10 years in prison, while obstruction of justice could be punishable with as much as 20 years behind bars.
