Former President Donald Trump's "BIG" announcement coincides with the increasing likelihood that he will be charged, perhaps convicted, and possibly even incarcerated for one or more federal or state offenses. This leads one to wondering whether he could still run for president again under any of those conditions.

The answer is decidedly "yes."

The most significant risk he faces in the many venues in which he is undergoing scrutiny may be for potential federal charges arising out of his maintaining and secreting confidential and classified documents, including those relating to national security. That conduct could violate at least three federal laws, including the Espionage Act.
