The Implications of Trump's Indictment Under the Espionage Act

Donald Trump rejected lawyers' advice to cooperate with the National Archives and the Justice Department in returning classified documents, leading to an indictment of more than three dozen criminal counts against him for allegedly keeping and hiding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago Club in Florida. Trump faces the most legally perilous moment of his life playing out in a federal court, charges that could bring decades in prison. Trump repeatedly refused to give the documents back, even when some of his longest-serving advisers warned of peril and some flew to Mar-a-Lago to beg him to return them.
