Reacting to Donald Trump’s recent indictment in the Mar-A-Lago probe, a former federal prosecutor said the ex-president faces the “fight of his life.”

Elie Honig, a former New Jersey and federal prosecutor, in an interview with CNN, said the charges attached to Trump’s indictment in the mishandling of classified documents case are likely “much more severe” than his previous indictment in Manhattan.
