Former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said on MSNBC that former President Donald Trump 'should serve time' if convicted in his 2020 election case.
'Special Report' panelists Katie Pavlich, Guy Benson and Francesca Chambers discuss former President Donald Trump facing a total of 91 charges across four different indictments."should serve time" if he is convicted on federal charges brought by special counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 probe.
"There are people that on Jan. 6, went to the Capitol — maybe not at the clear direction of President Trump — but certainly, he did nothing to stop what happened that day," the former Justice Department chief continued."They're serving time." If convicted, Trump faces a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the two charges related to obstructing an official proceeding. He could see an additional maximum sentence of 10 years for the conspiracy against rights charge and a maximum five-year sentence for conspiracy to defraud the United States.
The Justice Department recommended in court filings that Trump's trial should start on Jan. 2, 2024. Additionally, a federal judge in Florida has set a May 20 trial date on charges that Trump illegally hoarded classified documents and concealed them from investigators.
