Trump faces 20 years in prison for racketeering charge

Donald Trump could potentially receive a prison sentence of up to 20 years due to a racketeering charge associated with his endeavor to overturn Joe Biden's 2020 victory in Georgia.

In the Georgia case, Trump is confronting a total of 13 charges, encompassing false statements, forgery, and soliciting public officers to violate their oaths.

The following are the maximum sentences that Trump could potentially face for each count of the alleged crimes in Georgia:

- 1 count of violating Georgia's Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act: 20 years
- 3 counts of soliciting a public officer to violate their oath: 3 years each
- 1 count of conspiracy to commit impersonation of a public officer: 2.5 years
- 2 counts of conspiracy to commit forgery in the first degree: 7.5 years each
- 2 counts of conspiracy to commit false statements and writings: 2.5 years each
- 1 count of conspiracy to commit filing false documents: 5 years
- 1 count of filing false documents: 10 years
- 2 counts of false statements and writings: 5 years each

Trump is also potentially facing substantial time due to charges in three additional indictments. Within the federal 2020 election and classified documents cases, the former president could face a maximum of 20 years for obstructing an official proceeding, as well as 20 years for each obstruction count. In the New York state case, he could potentially receive a maximum of 4 years for each charge of falsifying business records.

Overall, Trump is currently confronting a total of 91 felony charges across these four criminal cases.
