Prosecutors have said Trump took documents that he was no longer authorized to have after leaving the White House in January 2021 and that he resisted repeated requests by federal officials to return them. Trump has denied all wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Asked on MSNBC’s The Weekend about the impact the case could have on Trump, Democratic attorney Marc Elias said it could be "devastating" for the former president and result in a long prison sentence."People forget how damaging the evidence is in that Florida case," Elias said on Sunday’s edition of the show. "It is literally about a former president of the United States stealing highly classified sensitive documents from the United States government, treating them cavalierly, showing them to people, storing them willy-nilly."It is devastating to him politically. It’s devastating legally. It puts him in real prospect of going to prison for a long time."
Newsweek reached out to a Trump representative by email for comment.
Elias’ commentary comes after special counsel Jack Smith, who is prosecuting the case, filed a 67-page document on Friday rejecting Trump and his co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira’s motion for additional discovery.
ABC News reported on Friday on claims that the Federal Bureau of Investigations failed to search two key areas when raiding Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence in August 2022. The outlet said, citing anonymous sources, that Smith’s team has questioned several witnesses about a locked closet and a hidden room inside Mar-a-Lago that the FBI didn’t check while searching the estate.
The trial in the classified documents case is set to begin on May 20, but appeals based on Trump’s disclosure arguments could delay it. Trump, currently the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, wins the November election, he could seek to drop the charges in his cases.
Prince Charles Heartbreak: Prince Harry, Meghan Markle Unlikely To Say 'Yes' To Prince Of Wales InvitationPrince Charles is unlikely to receive a positive response from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.Prince Charles attempted to bring together the family in the run-up of the holidays. Apparently, it did not happen. Royal expert Angela Levin said that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would likely turn down the Prince of Wales' invitation to stay with him.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex will likely turn down Prince Charles if he offers to have them stay with him, according to Levin, because that would be "too awkward" following their public row. She also believed that Meghan Markle doesn't want to return to the UK.
"Of course, when you are married, your partner has a say in it all and I don’t believe Meghan ever wants to come back here," Levin told The Sun. "She would find it very difficult to stay with Prince Charles and the duchess [of Cornwall] because I think she would be quite awkward about it all."

Prince Harry seemingly criticized Prince Charles' parenting in a previous interview. He insisted that he planned to "break the cycle" of pain for his and Markle's children.
Also, the royal couple was not shy in showing the world how unhappy they were when they were in the palace. The duchess even said there was a time she thought of killing herself.

Angela Levin said that Prince Charles loves his son and is allegedly devastated by his behavior. While he could be resentful, the Prince of Wales won't go that route. Instead, he encourages his youngest child to return to the royal fold but not necessarily into the royal family. He just wanted to be amicable with them.
"I think Charles is very brave, very honourable and it should really be Harry that apologies to him and try to get back in his good books, but I think this looks as though it’s the other way round," Levin continued. "He could make a very nice weekend for them and [Harry and Meghan] could still find criticisms there."

Prince Charles has been looking forward to meeting his grandchildren with Prince Harry. He was reportedly sad that they didn't have the opportunity to do so, that's why he wanted them to stay with him if they were in the UK.
Despite what happened between them, an insider told Mirror that the father and son have "good-natured and enjoyable calls." The Prince of Wales is reportedly looking forward to it.
Stay tuned for more news and updates about Prince Charles, Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the other royal family members.Prince Harry wants to be catered by the Met police whenever he and his family are in the United Kingdom. However, there are no chances that the Queen will give in to his demand, a report says.
The Duke of Sussex expressed his security concerns for his family in the U.K. According to Prince Harry, he offered to pay for police protection to ensure himself, his wife Meghan Markle, and their children Archie and baby Lili in his home country. However, he was told "no."
He applied for a judiciary review after being refused twice. The Duke wants round-the-clock police protection for him and his family whenever they are in the U.K. He applied for judicial review after an incident in London in July 2021 when his car was chased by photographers while leaving a charity event.
Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, told the duke that the Met Police are not "guns for hire," Express reported.
The Queen is reportedly not giving in to his security demands.
"This is not a matter for Her Majesty. She certainly won’t cave into his demands," an unnamed source said, as per Express. "Who gets protection is not a gift the Queen can decide to give or take away."
The outlet noted that Prince Harry lost police protection when he quit his royal duties and moved to the United States.ALSO READ:
Many sympathized with Prince Harry after reading his statement about his request to give his family police protection because he offered to pay for it and won't leave the bill to the taxpayers. The duke argued that he needed police protection in his home country because his private security cannot replicate their work.
However, many also slammed the duke because he should have known that Met police are not for hire. They do not cater to private citizens like the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Piers Morgan said in a tweet that Prince Harry was "behaving like a shameless entitled hypocrite." The British journalist said Meghan Markle's husband "gave up his right to police protection when he abandoned Britain & royal duty."

Morgan explained that just like Prince Harry, he offered to pay for police protection because he also received nasty death threats. However, he understood that he is not entitled to it.
"They [Prince Harry and Meghan Markle] very much do want to keep their royal status so they can trade off being royals in the US without fulfilling a moment’s duty to earn them. And they’re even more desperate to keep all the good stuff that comes with being a royal - like police protection when they’re in the UK," Piers wrote for The Sun. "There’s just one problem with this: they’re not entitled to it."He also explained why Prince Harry and his family do not qualify for police protection.

"Only active royals who do their duty on behalf of the British taxpayers deserve that kind of protection, not runaways who’ve deserted their duty," Morgan added. "Harry and Meghan aren’t real royals anymore, they’re just another pair of Hollywood celebrities on the make."
He suggested that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sort their own protection. They should bring their own security team for full-time protection and only request police help with a specific incident or threat like the rest of the private citizens in the U.K.
Prince Harry Heartbreak: Meghan Markle's Husband Snubbed In Attempt To 'Reconnect' With Brother Prince WilliamPrince Harry allegedly tried to reconnect but got snubbed by Prince William.Prince Harry attempted to reconnect with his older brother Prince William in one outing but didn't get the warm response he expected.
Prince Harry and Prince William have been rumored to be feuding despite their recent reunions. The royal siblings were spotted together twice last year — during Prince Philip's reunion in April and at the unveiling of their mom Princess Diana's statue in July, in what would have been her 60th birthday.
Both were all smiles at the event for their mom. However, body language expert Blanca Cobb said the two princes have to work on their relationship because, based on their interactions, there was obvious tension between them. She pointed out how Prince William was "not having it" and seemingly snubbed his younger brother.
"The one thing that will be interesting moving forward, depending on how much interaction Harry and William have in public, is whether there is any mending of the fences, so to speak, or mending of their relationship," she told Express. "Because when they were together at the unveiling of their mother's statue, Harry made a lot of nonverbal attempts to reconnect to his brother, and William wasn’t having it."
She noted when Prince William and Prince Harry were standing in front of the statue. Meghan Markle's husband turns his body to Prince William, but the latter doesn't respond. He still faces the statue.
"It wasn't being reciprocated and when it's not reciprocated, there's an issue there," she said.Royal biographer Robert Lacey Weighed in on Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship. According to him, their bond remains "Poor, definitely poor."
"I’ve spoken to two people from that party and it was quite clear from things he said that his anger towards Harry remains," Lacey told Page Six in November. "He remains unhappy about what his brother has done. There is no immediate possibility of any reconciliation. I mean, it’s not wanted on either side. Too many bitter things have been said."

Prince William's feelings were allegedly due to the "bitter things" the Sussexes did when they made a tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey. During the bombshell, Prince Harry and Markle made some serious allegations against the royal family when they said that a member raised concern about the skin color of their unborn child. Their statement sparked racist allegations against the royal family, which Prince William denied.
"We’re very much not a racist family," Prince William said following the interview.
