Glenn Kirschner, Ex-Army Prosecutor, Predicts Donald Trump Will Be Indicted as the Former President Faces “Five-Year” Felony Charge Over Classified White House Documents

Former U.S. Army Prosecutor Glenn Kirschner predicted that former U.S. President Donald Trump "will be indicted," adding that Trump's days "are numbered."

Kirschner said that he is not sure which jurisdiction will indict Trump first, but "he will be indicted," according to a Newsweek report. He then continued to say that it is not coming quickly enough but that justice is underway.

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled last Thursday that Trump, with his children Ivanka Trump and Donald Jr., must follow with the subpoenas and answer questions under oath as part of the investigation.

New York Attorney General Letitia James is currently leading the investigation against Trump over his business practices involving Trump Organization.

Trump lashed out at the judge's ruling. He said in a statement that he cannot get a fair hearing in New York due to the hatred towards him by judges and the judiciary.

Classified White House Documents

Trump may also face a Justice Department investigation on top of the New York probe. It would be over his handling of classified national security information after he took classified White House documents to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

Kirschner also said that Trump is possibly facing a "five-year felony" over the classified White House documents that he brought with him to Mar-a-Lago when he left office, according to another Newsweek report.

The National Archives confirmed in a letter to House Oversight Committee that some 15 boxes retrieved from Trump contained classified national security documents.

Archivist David Ferriero wrote in the letter that the agency identified items marked as classified national security information within the boxes.

Kirschner was referring to the 18 U.S. Code of 1924, which addressed the removal and keeping of classified documents or materials.

The law states that the punishment for the crime is a fine or imprisonment for not more than five years of both.

However, Trump dismissed the issue, arguing that what happened was normal. The former president said that the National Archives did not "find" anything and that they were given upon request.

Trump then went on to say that the "Democrats are in search of their next scam."

Former Federal Bureau of Investigation Assistant Director Frank Figliuzzi called on DOJ on a tweet, saying that the "ball is in your court."

Lawmakers are also seeking information about the contents of the boxes that were retrieved from Mar-a-Lago. However, the National Archives cited the records act as holding them back from releasing further details regarding the matter, according to an Aljazeera report.

Meanwhile, House investigators will be looking to see if Trump's actions during his presidency and after his term violated the Presidential Records Act.

Under the Presidential Records Act, presidential records belong to the U.S. government, not to any presidential administration.

The Act was instilled in 1978 after former President Richard Nixon intended to destroy documents referring to the Watergate scandal.
