How much prison time could Donald Trump be facing?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:39:07 GMT

By Eric Tucker and Alanna Durkin Richer | Associated PressWASHINGTON — The FBI investigators who searched Harold Martin’s Maryland property in the fall of 2016 found classified documents — including material at the top secret level — strewn about his home, car and storage shed.Unlike former President Donald Trump, the former National Security Agency contractor didn’t contest the allegations, ultimately pleading guilty in 2019 and admitting his actions were “wrong, illegal and highly questionable.” But his expressions of contrition and guilty plea to a single count of willful retention of national defense information didn’t spare him the harsh punishment of nine years in prison.The resolution of that case looms as an ominous guidepost for the legal jeopardy Trump could face as he confronts 37 felony counts — 31 under the same century-old Espionage Act statute used to prosecute Martin and other defendants alleged to have illegally retained classified docu...

Las Vegas native Bryce Harper says A’s shouldn’t abandon Oakland

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:39:07 GMT

Bryce Harper and the Phillies are coming to Oakland this weekend. By the time they visit the A’s next year, though, the games might be in Las Vegas, Harper’s hometown.That doesn’t mean Harper would be happy to be going home for that series.“It should have been an expansion franchise, not the A’s,’’ Harper told USA Today’s Bob Nightengale in a piece posted Thursday morning. He then contrasted the A’s with the NHL’s Golden Knights, who won the Stanley Cup on Tuesday night.“Look at the Knights, they won the Cup, but they were an expansion franchise. They were Vegas-born, as people would say. It’s the first team that came to Vegas. I don’t think you can really match that.”Harper and teammate Bryson Stott, also a Las Vegas-area native, said the Raiders have not captured the city’s support in the same way that the Golden Knights have. Stott said he has seen a lot of visiting fans at NFL games in Vegas and attributed that to the Raiders...
